Book front cover | back cover
JesusWalk - Beginning the Journey is a discipleship and spiritual formation program for new believers. The course provides a balance of Christian doctrines, core values, and spiritual disciplines designed to produce strong Christians who continue to grow as committed disciples of Jesus.

The 12-lesson series is coordinated with free online lessons and videos or can be used with an optional book and optional DVD set. The printed book is available from Amazon and other booksellers.


See the video interview with Dr. Wilson about the book on The Harvest Show.

Each lesson concludes with a memory verse, questions and discussion points, and an outline of the lesson. These provide the structure for a weekly meeting between a mentor and the new Christian or for use in a class or small group.

As proctor for the class, I can assure you that your course has been a true blessing to this ministry. Thank you for your service and commitment to Christ!" -- Lt. Colonel, Gulf region
