ook Grow: Maturing Believers Through the Truths of the Christian Faith By Russell A. Board Item No.: 2102012 Price: $6.99 Most Christians are well versed in the Great Commission Jesus gave his followers: take the gospel to all nations. And the plethora of youth camps, evangelical crusades and short-term missions trips U.S. churches sponsor each year attests to that fact. But what happens after conversion? The new believer is often left with many questions that only someone of more mature faith can answer. Making a personal decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior is the easy part; understanding the depth of that commitment and the intricate spiritual ramifications is much more tedious. What the early church did so well—and what many churches today often fall short in doing—was discipling believers. “Discipling new believers is a strategically important task—and often an ignored one. But Russell Board is committed to making sure new Christians are rooted and grounded in God’s Word so they can grow, thrive, and make disciples themselves,” said J. Lee Grady, executive editor of Experience. To this end, a resource like the newly updated Grow: Maturing Believers Through the Truths of the Christian Faith is invaluable. Author Russell Board explains complex doctrinal and theological concepts in a simple, straightforward manner that allows virtually any reader to understand and apply them. Board is no stranger to discipleship and missions, which makes him an invaluable source on the subject. He and his wife, Sandra, have been missionaries for over 27 years, and Russell currently serves the IPHC as World Missions Ministries’ continental director for Asia and the Pacific. Russell also wrote the Adult Student curriculum for One Accord Resources prior to this assignment. “I am very excited at the publication of this newly revised and expanded edition of my book on basic Christian truths,” says Board. “I pray that God will use it to establish many of His people in the faith, and help them grow into mature and fruitful disciples.” Originally published under the title First Things First: Foundations of the Faith for New (and Old) Believers, this book offers a wealth of information concerning basic Christian beliefs. The topics covered range from introductory concepts like sin, salvation, and redemption to more complex tenets of the faith, such as the doctrine of the Trinity, baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the second coming of Christ. Each chapter offers biblically rich explanations, complete with reflection questions and references for further study. From cover to cover, Grow is an essential resource for both mature Christians and new believers.
