The obvious first step in this process is for someone to cross the line of faith--to say, \"I believe.\" That was the heart behind his book \u003ci\u003eChristianity for People Who Aren't Christians\u003c\/i\u003e. But what comes after \"I believe\" is equally important, and it's the way someone truly becomes a \u003ci\u003efully devoted\u003c\/i\u003e follower of Christ. This manual for discipleship takes new Christians through the basics of growing in the faith and connecting with the church, including\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- prioritizing Bible study\u003cbr\u003e- developing a regular prayer life\u003cbr\u003e- spending quiet time with God\u003cbr\u003e- plugging into the life of a local church\u003cbr\u003e- experiencing God in worship\u003cbr\u003e- finding ways to serve others\u003cbr\u003e- being faithful with finances\u003cbr\u003e- and more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA perfect resource for pastors and ministry leaders to offer to the new believers in their midst, \u003ci\u003eAfter \"I Believe\" \u003c\/i\u003eis a solid foundation for anyone seeking to build a vibrant Christian life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"James Emery White has done a masterful job of explaining discipleship for new and seasoned believers alike. Often the great books on discipleship are deep but inaccessible. Others are easy to read but lack depth. Jim takes a wealth of knowledge and insight on the essentials of Christian discipleship and makes them wonderfully easy to understand but deep enough to authentically help you.\"--\u003cb\u003eCarey Nieuwhof\u003c\/b\u003e, leadership author, podcaster, and founding pastor of Connexus Church in Barrie, Ontario\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Living a life with Christ is not a onetime commitment.
