The Road to Amazing: Basics of Christian Practice

After you invite Christ into your life, then what? The Road to Amazing, part of The Basics Series, answers questions about the essentials of Christian practice. Used as a standalone study, the book provides a suggested course of action that will help you understand who God is and who you are as a child of God. Or if you're a small-group leader, the book can also be used as a 4-week study. It is designed to stimulate "holy conversation" among members of your class and equip them in the faith so they can be sent out to serve in Jesus' name. Includes a Leader Guide with everything a group leader needs to plan and facilitate the study along with options for tailoring sessions to the time-frame and style of each group.
