Where can new believers go as they begin their journey with Jesus? In I’m a Christian… Now What? Aaron Armstrong gives a guide to your new life with Christ. Although I’ve been a believer for most of my life, I was struck by how amazing it is to have access to God. He has given us his Word. We can come to him easily in prayer, and we can talk to him about anything. Healthy Churches, Creativity What I most appreciated were Armstrong’s seven signs of a healthy church. With many churches to choose from, these will help new believers be better prepared. Armstrong tells you to look for churches where (1) Jesus is the focus, (2) character is prioritized over skill, (3) the Bible is the standard, (4) people are known, (5) sin is taken seriously, (6) non-Christians are loved, and (7) compassion is a way of life. I was most interested to see Armstrong address the role of creativity in the Christian life. While many books for new believers discuss the spiritual disciplines of prayer and Bible reading, not many talk about how we are to enjoy creativity the way that God intended it. A Book for New Believers Armstrong inserts his own experiences from when he was a new believer throughout the book. A chapter on the changes he had to make in regards to cohabitation was effective. Life is messy, but “grace abounds in the mess.” The book ends by looking at what type of Christian you want to be in this world as well as preparing to share your testimony. These are fitting ending chapters, with more than enough in the book for new believers to work through. I am encouraged after reading this, and will use it to encourage others. I received a media copy of I’m a Christian… Now What? and this is my honest review.
