About this resource
Where do you begin with the Christian life? Start Here gives you a clear place to begin, then helps you move forward with an open Bible and a better understanding of God's grace.
Randy White organizes this concise book around four practical questions: How does a person become a Christian? How can you enjoy your Bible? How can you enjoy your church? And how can you enjoy your life?
The opening chapter explains salvation as God's free gift received through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. White distinguishes receiving eternal life from the responsibilities and growth that follow, helping readers separate faith from religious performance.
The study then turns to Scripture: what the Bible is, why its words can be trusted, and how scope, context, and dispensational distinctions help readers understand a passage before applying it. The church chapter considers the purpose of a local assembly, mutual encouragement, participation, and the value of sound teaching over spectacle. The final chapter works through Philippians 4, exploring prayer, thoughtful living, freedom from legalism, and contentment in the circumstances you actually have.
Written for new believers, people exploring the Christian faith, and Christians seeking a clearer foundation, Start Here is suitable for individual reading, a home Bible study, or a Sunday school class. Its four chapters can also serve as a simple four-session study. A Teach This Book section points readers to a free facilitator's companion with outlines, discussion questions, and a leader's worksheet.
