This book grew out of a burden that there was a desperate need for new believers, and some not so new believers, to be established in the faith and to have a foundation of spiritual truth that finds expression in faithful living. My observation, as both a ruling elder and a pastor, was that many church members were still babes in Christ, having never grown beyond the elemental things. My desire was to help new believers progress to a place where they would be strong in the Kingdom of God and enjoy the blessings of a life devoted to Christ.
