by Donald Root (Author)
This book was written in order to provide a tool for discipling new Christians that goes beyond New Convert Bible Studies. The idea for this book came to the author while working with a man, in his sixties, who was afraid to pick up the Bible and read it alone for fear he wouldn't understand what he was reading. He had absolutely no Bible knowledge of any kind (no clue who Paul was, or where to find any book of the Bible, or of the most basic Bible stories) and the Bible was very intimidating to him. Hopefully, This book has helped him, and others like him. The goal of the author has been to put a New Convert Bible Study into a 366 day Devotional/Lesson Book format, that would guide a person through independent learning while developing a daily Bible reading habit
