I AM A CHRISTIAN: Discovering What it Means to Follow Jesus Together with Fellow Believers – Thom S. Rainer

Thom Rainer outlines the basics of Christianity in a simple and straightforward manner. This little book would be great for new believers – and others – to explain what it really means to be a Christian in practice. Rainer introduces the reader to the main ways that a believer lives out their faith. He includes some good stories to help explain his concepts. A great biblical little book to help clarify what it means to be a Christian!

I WILL: Nine Traits Of The Outwardly Focused Christian – by Thom S. Rainer

Thom Rainer has written a great little book addressing many of the issues regarding a Christian and their relationship with their church. Each chapter addresses one aspect of a Christian and how to be outwardly focused as they are involved in their church. Chapters include topics like: I Will Serve, I Will Go, I Will Give Generously, and I Will Not Be A Church Dropout. This great little book with its short chapters would be great as curriculum for a new members class. He includes an “I Will” Commitment at the end of the book that new members could agree to.
