Second Friend Day - Elmer Towns

PREFACE
People like fresh things . . . fresh fruit . . . fresh mornings . . . fresh air. When you
become a Christian you have a fresh new life. A friend recently paraphrased II Corinthians 5:17:
"If any person is in Christ, he is a creation of God; all things are fresh and new.”
Now you need to grow. You can't hear growth nor see it in progress. Growth is quiet like
the lawn. You can't see grass grow but the pile of clippings in the drive convinces you of its
growth. The first section of this book is designed to help you grow.
The next section will help you walk with God. Receiving Christ is just the beginning of a
lifelong journey. You have left the starting block, now go on for God.
Don't carry garbage into your new life. The third section tells you how to throw away all
the habits that made you a failure. Since you have the opportunity to start life anew, make the
most of it. Don't park at yesterday's corner.
The last section deals with your character. A friend who has trouble with his temper
recently prayed, "Lord, help me be cool - it's so easy to get hot." He wanted self-control which is
foundational to becoming a well-rounded person.
May this book help you to grow in Christ. Read each chapter carefully and look up the
Scripture references. May you enjoy your fresh, you life just as thousands before you who have
received Christ. And, like them, may you walk with God.
