About this title

From the Back Cover

Foundations of the faith for followers of Christ
“I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock.” –Luke 6:47-48

Every builder understands that a structure is only as good as its foundation. The same is true of your life in Christ. As a follower of Christ, you know that the foundations of your faith are found in Scripture. But the amount of information―not to mention its complexity―can seem overwhelming. The Christian Basics Bible is designed to help you connect biblical teachings to Christian beliefs and build a rock-solid faith.
