JesusWalk - Beginning the Journey:
Discipleship and Spiritual Formation for New Christians, a Curriculum for
Training and Mentoring New Believers in Christian Doctrines, Core Values, and
Spiritual Disciplines
|
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.

"I am currently deployed. I am using your JesusWalk: Beginning the Journey materials for a New Believers Class I am leading at our base chapel. Last night I felt the Spirit leading me to write you a quick 'thank you' for producing such a well-conceived/designed course. 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 "We have used the JesusWalk series extensively in training new converts in the basics of the faith. The series is absolutely spot-on doctrinally, being Bible based. The series is very easy to follow, without being patronising. Just clear, concise and easy to understand. Highly recommended for the new believer to become grounded in the faith." -- Paul Toschi, Greenlane Presbyterian Church, New Zealand (Amazon reviewer) "Great book for a new members' class. If you desire to get your new members off to a good start in the Christian faith, then this is the perfect book for young people and adults." -- Hoyle Edwards (Amazon reviewer) "Although I've been a Christian all my life, after reading this book I realized I had a lot to learn.... Kept me interested to the very end and it was very easy to understand. If you're new to Christianity or just want to start at the basics, this book is definitely ... for you." -- Amazon customer "Thoughtful and spiritual, Beginning the Journey is a powerful read for Christians, very highly recommended.." -- Midwest Book Review (Amazon reviewer) "Easy to read, perfect for someone new to the faith, and an excellent tool for churches, small groups, or leaders wanting to build a solid foundation for Christ followers.." -- Veritas (Amazon reviewer) |
