Totally Enlightening. A Great Study Tool.
You don't have to be a
newly-saved Christian to use this Bible study.
Re-reading and studying brought me new and
deeper meaning from His Word. I challenge every
Christian to read and apply the principles
taught in So, You're a Christian! Now What? to
their lives. I want more Bible studies like this
one! Thank you. |

Excellent!
So You're a Christian! Now
What? by Catherine Painter is an excellent
comprehensive Bible study for individuals or
groups. The author's thorough and extensive
Biblical knowledge is evident in that she
incorporates numerous applicable scriptures in
appropriate categories. Illustrations from her
life add relevance and interest. Surely, one of
Mrs. Painter's spiritual gifts is Christian
writing. |

There’s not another Bible study like it!
I’m impressed with So,
You’re a Christian! Now What? This study
has been sorely needed for many years. How
wonderful it would be if all new Christians
would begin their Christian experience with
twelve weeks of Catherine Painter’s Bible study
before choosing a Sunday School class. At the
end of the twelve weeks, a new class would
already be formed and bonded, or members would
be prepared to enter a Sunday School class and
understand what's going on. So, You’re a
Christian! Now What? is a great choice for
new or spiritually mature Christians, whether in
small group Bible studies or for use during
Sunday school or Discipleship training.

Superb!
The beginning of any life
is birth. So it is natural to look at a
spiritual birth as a beginning. This is the
theme of this great Bible study. Catherine
Painter's teachings have an authentic approach
which is one of the best I have ever read. I
appreciate her sharing her former lack of
understanding about the Bible and Christian
faith. Her vulnerability allows the reader not
to feel put-down when he or she also experiences
a lack of understanding. I especially enjoy the
humorous aspects of Catherine's stories under
"Reflecting" portions of each lesson. She really
knows how to laugh at herself and we, the
learners, laugh along with her and at ourselves
as well.

Fabulous Bible study and well worth your
time!
This study is wonderful for all Christians -
"new" ,"old" and those of us in between! You
will learn a lot about the Bible, about
yourself, and about what being a Christian
entails. I attended another Bible
Study following Catherine's written by a
different, famous, writer. The book that went
with that study was certainly educational, but
it made me really appreciate So, You're a
Christian! Now What?, how much I learned
from it, and how it has pushed my journey with
God further down the road. The book has a "turn
the next page" lure that will keep a
learner wanting to complete more and more of its
pages. Thank you, Catherine, so much for writing
it!

Just what every new Christian needs!
I am a new
Christian and have been searching for some
sort of book to guide me now that I've
accepted Christ. I've been reading lots of
books and have done a couple of other Bible
studies, but this one is exactly what I,
being new to faith, needed. I've used this
Bible study on my own and have found it
invaluable. The author has written this
study in thirteen lessons about Christian
fundamentals that have really helped me to
better understand what it means to be a
Christian and how to grow spiritually. I am
grateful for this study and how much it has
helped me know where to go and what to do
now that I'm a Christian. I look forward to
reading more by Catherine Painter.

I highly recommend this Bible study.
So, You're a
Christian! Now What? will help any reader
to become a better Bible student because of the
emphasis on scriptures, the thought-provoking
questions, and the creative exercises which keep
interest high. I especially like the "Write Your
Story" section at the end of each lesson. By the
end a Christian has his or her spiritual
biography written--a unique and exciting aspect.
This Bible study is well-written and outlined in
a way that encourages each reader to look
inward, take stock of where he or she is in
living the Christian life, and determine what he
or she can do to keep growing in Christ.

This has been the most eye opening
experience for me!
As a 62 year old
woman who accepted Christ at a young age, I
thought that I was leading a Christian life and
doing everything the way that I had been taught
as a child. After completing So, You're a
Christian! Now What? I discovered answers
to questions I had had all my life. This has
been the most eye-opening experience for me and
lets me know that I have a long way to go. The
meaning of being a Christian has a whole new
meaning for me after completing this Bible
study.

A Great Start for New Believers/Baby
Christians!
We use So, You’re A
Christian! Now What? at our pregnancy
resource center in our class for new believers.
Many new Christians are not connected with a
church or small group for discipleship. We try
to provide a foundation that will bridge this
gap and answer their questions while their zeal
is high. By the completion of this Bible study,
they should feel comfortable selecting a church
and moving on to fellowship in a church. It is
also appropriate for those who are considering
the gospel but have not made a commitment to
Christ.
So, You're a Christian! Now What? has
been the perfect resource for our small group
study. We looked at a lot of books, videos, and
workbooks in our search for a study aid that
would appeal to young adults and take new
believers into the Scriptures. It is
well-organized, each lesson building on the one
before, and it covers the basics of Christianity
in a format that is interactive and easy to
follow. Though we use it for a group, it would
be appropriate for self-study, too. |

I recommend this Bible study to others
who want to grow spiritually.
What a wonderful gift
Catherine Painter has shared through her
finding the Lord's will for her life. For me
to start again at the beginning of my
journey in Christ (I'm a senior adult now),
was such a humbling experience. I am so
thankful for So, You're A Christian! Now
What? because my life is more peaceful,
and God is speaking to me more because I'm
opening the door for Him.
So many Christians young and old should go
through this Bible study because life is so
short, and we need to understand how
important God's Word is to communicate and
include Him in our journey on earth.
