This book was an un-apologizing book on the basics of faith in Christ. I was worried when I started it that I wouldn't agree with a lot, but found that there were few things I didn't agree with. Which worries me some about what churches are teaching new believers now-days. The book is an excellent presentation of what our belief in Christ biblically entails, including (and focusing on) those uncomfortable parts (that are apparently left out of much teaching now) including those topics like hell and being looked down on for our faith. I think this is a good next step for a believer who is fairly new and ready to take the next steps to a deeper understanding of their decision. It doesn't sugar coat at all what it means to be a Christian, so probably is not for the brand-spanking new. And for those who've been Christians for a while and are taught by a Bible Teaching church, it may not be a lot of new information, but it is a good reminder of our beliefs and definitely are worth reading. The author uses examples from his own life to discuss the idea that we should be privileged and honored to suffer for Christ. People may (and will) look down on us, but Christ will use those times to develop our faith and bring us to a new level with Him.

I recieved a copy of this book for the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

My daughter will be 5 in November and I wasn't sure how much she would get, but she loved this book!
