As you start out in the Christian life—or go back to the basics for a refresh—what do you need to know? Listen in on these letters written to a new Christian, Dave, as he learns about some of the essentials of Christian living.

Each letter covers a different aspect of what it means to be a Christian—from how we are saved by God, to why we read the Bible and go to church.

This resource is designed to work in tandem with Just for Starters, a set of seven foundational Bible studies. If you’re doing these studies with someone, you’ll find that the book ties in well with what you’re studying week by week.

Note: The seven letters in Just Starting Out were first published in a previous version of this book called Kicking Off. The letters themselves have been updated a little, and other material from the old book has been taken out in order to shorten and simplify the book in this new edition.
