This is a book that you can use to help others know God the Father through Jesus Christ. It is designed to be studied with those who want to learn more about the Christian faith or to review its main teachings. First, it explains how to enter a personal, reconciled relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Second, it explains how we can pursue God's purposes for our lives, including developing Christlike character, serving others, and helping others to know God, all by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Here is one approach to starting a study: (1) pray for guidance from God, (2) invite others (such as your neighbors, friends, and family members) to study this book with you, (3) establish a time and place to meet (e.g., Sunday nights from 4 to 6 p.m. at your house or church building), (4) pass out copies of this book (hard copies or the free PDF at JaySimala.com) before or at the first meeting, and (5) share a meal together each week before you study the lessons. Another approach: teach and discuss these lessons to people in your church, community, or other settings (like a jail or prison) to equip them to lead studies of their own. In time, proactively coach them through steps (1) through (5) above.
