This spiritual disconnect is the cause of so much of the stress and problems in our lives. Foundations is a fresh, innovative curriculum about the essential truths of the Christian faith and how these truths are to be lived out---in your relationships, your character, and your work. Rather than just teaching doctrinal knowledge, this course shows you how to apply biblical truths and implement them in your everyday life. 1. The Bible 2. God 3. Jesus 4. The Holy Spirit 5.

Here is what some who have taken this course have said: 'Every Christian and seeker should attend. Wow! What a super foundation' 'I felt reassured about my lifelong beliefs' 'I've never learned and unlearned so much.' 'I thought I knew about the Bible and God. Now I know that I didn't feel close to God because I didn't know him very well.' 'The small group atmosphere made me realize I wasn't the only one that didn't know all this stuff.'

A Solid Foundation,
This review is from: Foundations Participant's Guide: A Purpose-Driven Discipleship Resource - 11 Core Truths to Build Your Life On (Paperback)
Saddleback Community Church gets a lot of criticism stating that it is too "seeker sensitive" and therefore implying that they water down or distort the truth. This resource is one example of how that isn't the case. The doctrinal studies found in the Foundations study are some ofthe best that I have seen in years. I have used these in small groups as well as adapted these for large group. These studies provide exactly what they advertise - Solid faoundations on which to build your life.

This review is from: Foundations Participant's Guide: A Purpose-Driven Discipleship Resource - 11 Core Truths to Build Your Life On (Paperback)
My husband and I were participants when our church used "Foundations" for a mixed-group Bible study. The group included college students, single adults, married adults, senior adults, new believers, and long-time Christians. "Foundations" is one of the most dynamic and informative studies we have ever experienced. It covers every major Biblical truth/doctrine from Creation to the Second Coming. The format encourages and stimulates discussion, but keeps everyone focused on what scripture has to say about each topic and how it relates to daily living. We enjoyed many lively (but amiable!) discussions as we shared comments, questions, experiences, and opinions. We all came to realize that regardless of our age, or level of maturity in Christ, forming a Christian world-view is vital to keeping our balance in today's world. Having a basic knowledge of scriptural truth/doctrine helps us understand life from God's point of view and gives us the tools we need to make good choices and decisions in everyday life. Unlike many study books that are discarded after the study is completed, the Foundations Participant's Guide remains a useful reference to review and continue to expand on each of these essential truths.

This review is from: Foundations Participant's Guide: A Purpose-Driven Discipleship Resource - 11 Core Truths to Build Your Life On (Paperback)
This material is wonderful for the local church. It helps people understand the foundations of our faith without getting so technical or theological that they loose interest in the first few minutes.
I have used this material in both large and small group settings and it is excellent.
