I ordered this, hoping it was a general workbook to learn about the basic doctrines of the christian faith. Not until I opened the book, did I realize that you needed to be in a class, and you would need to download lessons from Grace to You website. I do bible studies at home, no computer, and by myself. This would be a great class study guide to use; but that's not why I bought it. So, I sent it back.

This book is incredible!!! If you are wanting to spend more time in scripture and becoming more comfortable and familiar with your own personal time in Bible study, get this book!!! It encouraged me, challenged me, gave me ideas for Bible reading and I am learning so much! I love to be excited about Jesus, and this book is fuel for excitement!

Unforunately, people don't understand "lordship salvation" that MacArthur endorses. He has always believed in salvation by grace through faith...and that faith itself is a gift from GOD. But, the same salvation that brings justification also brings sanctification and glorification. If "Christians" are living in sin with no hint of remorse it's unlikely they're in the kingdom to begin with. Second, Calvinism is nothing more than what the apostle Paul taught. That everyone who desires to be saved by coming to Christ may come. But no one will unless GOD gives some a heart to do it. Outstanding work. Too bad people dismiss it without giving it a chance.

Our Small Group consists of people who have walked with the Lord for many years. It was enlightening to see how the beauty of this study shown through and prompted incredible discussion and growth. Whether someone is a new Christian or has been a Christian for many years - there's something for everyone.

I was looking for an easy to use, foundational look at the essentials of Christianity to support new believers and those seeking to shore up their understanding of the Christian essentials. This workbook has fill in the blanks, is easy to use, and provides a great grounding in Christianity: who is Jesus? God? Holy Spirit? etc which has been a tremendous benefit to new believers and mature believers alike! Highly recommend!
