5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book for New and Growing Christians, April 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing In Christ: A Thirteen-Week Follow-Up Course for New and Growing Christians (Paperback)

This book is to be used to assist in learning the Bible (KJV, NIV, NASB, & RSV). Inside is a thirteen-week course that takes you through lessons on assurance and on Christian living. In each lesson you will memorize a Bible verse, study other related passages, and answer simple questions about what you have read. This book also contains verse cards that you can carry with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE classic help for new Christians, November 15, 2001

This review is from: Growing In Christ: A Thirteen-Week Follow-Up Course for New and Growing Christians (Paperback)

Growing in Christ brings together four separate Navpress works: the five-part Lessons on Assurance, its companion scripture memory pack, the eight-part Lessons on Christian Living, and its companion memory pack.

Lessons on Assurance is probably the most-tested discipleship tool ever published. It has been around in several forms since the 40s, and has been virtually unchanged since the mid-70s. I myself was nurtured by it when I came to the Lord in 1974. It has served as a solid foundation for virtually everything I've learned since. And I've used it to help equip scores of people since then.

Each of the five assurances covered builds on the previous one: Salvation, Prayer, Victory, Confession, Guidance. Together, according to the authors, they help the believer defeat the devil when he attacks.

The lessons are constructed by taking apart a key verse, phrase by phrase, and taking the disciple to other scripture passages for deeper understanding and application.

While Lessons on Christian Living (the second part of this book) is useful, I generally make it more of an elective as I disciple others. Lessons on Assurance, however, is as essential now as it was when I discovered it over 25 years ago.

There is no better resource anywhere for equipping young Christians to live the Christ life.

This review is from: Growing In Christ: A Thirteen-Week Follow-Up Course for New and Growing Christians (Paperback)

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING! There are two versions of this book. A 1980 version and a 2007 version. Amazon's website only shows the 2007 version (but shows the image for both). I ordered one book thinking it would be the 2007 version, but it was the 1980 version. Amazon was VERY helpful and offered to allow me to buy another book and ship it one-day shipping and they refunded the shipping cost. I told them I only wanted a replacement book if they could guarantee it would be the 2007 version. Guess what? I got another 1980 version and this one had questions answered in ink as did the first one. Be careful buying used books with study questions in them since the questions may already be answered.

Note, with a quick glance, the two versions questions seem to be basically the same, but if you are teaching from one version it will make it awkward to have someone learning in another.

Here are the images for the two versions.
