This "First Steps Series" by 9Marks has been excellent thus far. And this book, the third in the series, takes Biblical truth to the next level.
There are quite a few things about this work that impressed me. Allow me to give a few here:
1) The book is written for a fictional character "Gary" who is a newer Christian struggling to get over his past life. It doesn't whitewash the struggles, temptations, and past life that he has. In my opinion, it paints an accurate picture of many people who first get saved from a life of sin.
2) The author takes the reader on a journey of nine truths and they are from the first nine chapters of Proverbs. It is almost like an expository sermon series for a new Christian! Because of that, it is solidly based on Scripture, not opinion!
3) Andy Prime does not shrink back from hard topics but addresses them head on. In other words, he identifies many sins that not only Proverbs identifies, but quite frankly, what many people struggle with today (gambling, money issues, sexual temptation, etc).
This book encouraged me greatly & helped me personally and I have been a Christian since a young lad. I know this book would help a new Christian and I aim to give away many a copy in the days and months to come!
