Description

Just for Starters is widely known and used all over the world as the material to do with new and young Christians. It was first developed as follow-up material for the Billy Graham Crusade of 1979, and was used as the follow-up material in Australia for the Global Mission with Billy Graham at the beginning of 1995.

Just for Starters, (or 'the seven Basic Bible Studies' as it is sometimes known) looks at what the Bible teaches on seven fundamental topics: Saved by God, Trusting in God, Living God's way, Listening to God, Talking to God, Meeting with God's family, Meeting the world.

This edition uses the 2011 New International Translation and has a new cover and internal design.

A self-training course, to help you prepare and use Just for Starters with a new Christian, is also available: Preparing Just for Starters. There is also a Chinese translation, plus Just Starting Out, a great book for new Christians to read alongside Just for Starters.

A great resource
Recently we used this book (and the leaders guide for it) as a resource during the study and discussion time we have as part of our churches youth group. Although designed for one on one use, it was also very good as a resource in a group (we had 12 to 14 teens most weeks).

Just for Starters
This is a simple clear set of studies on what it means to become a follower of Jesus. A great resource for any Christian wanting to help a friend, or family member understand what it means to follow Jesus.

Super helpful
As a deacon at my Church. Doing lots of Baptism prep and evangelistic course follow up this resource is invaluable. I find it simple to use but deep in content and so adds so much weight and depth to prior discussions about what is the Christian faith and what does it look like in its practical outworkings, So very thankful for this 4th edition which has made it so fresh.

Good stuff
I have used this resource lots of times with new Christians, or those who may not have had a strong theological or biblical grounding. It was used the same way with my wife and I shortly after we became Christians. I generally find it is great for grounding the main things strongly, and leads to good chats, again about the main things. It doesn't do everything, but what it does do it does very well I find.

Using JFS with international students
[Note] This review was transferred from our old online store which did not give ratings. But this new store requires ratings. So in order to transfer them we have tried to give a rating which reflects the content of the review. So you may prefer to ignore the rating and just read the review.

I use this with Christian international students.I guide them in translating these studies (1 at a time) into their own language. This equips and encourages them for ministering to people back in their home countries. They are pretty good at determining how to translate the questions in a culturally relevant manner. Ask them to 'reverse translate' their work to ensure they are on the right track (you don't need to know their language!). Emphasise they are free to improve upon their personal translation as they gain more experience using it. The idea is that they can be effective witnesses to the nations!
