Publisher's Description
The greatest challenge for the twenty-first-century church is the lack of catechesis--training in biblical and doctrinal knowledge. As J. I. Packer states, "where wise catechesis has flourished the church has flourished, and where it has been neglected the church has floundered." It is increasingly apparent that we are raising up generations of Christians who often have little idea what they should believe and why they should believe it. Grounded in the Faith takes up that challenge with twenty-four low-prep, in-depth sessions that will ground believers in the basics of their faith. This new innovative guide is a transformational disciple-making tool that leaders can immediately use to activate discipleship in the church. It presents individuals, small groups, and Sunday school classes with a cohesive understanding of historic, sound, biblical theology that serves as a catalyst for deeper intimacy with Christ. It is a user-friendly guide to growth in the Christian faith that covers important topics such as justification, overcoming temptation, sanctification, evidence for the inspiration of the Bible, the value of prayer, the guidance of God, the Trinity, the uniqueness of Christ, and the attributes of God.

“becoming grounded in historic, sound, biblical theology is steak that sizzles. Profound theology is presented in such an engaging manner that it is a meal to be savored and shared. Changing the metaphor, under Coach Erisman’s tutelage, the Christian learns the heavenly game plan and how to execute it well, and the church team will come to its destined maturity in Christ Jesus.”
“Grounded in the Faith is an outstanding tool to use in helping believers understand and embrace the basic doctrines of Scripture. It is simple enough to use with new believers and comprehensive enough to use with those who have been believers for some time but have never been taught basic theology. I know of no other discipleship tool like it available today.”
“To be a Christian of depth and substance we must first understand what we believe. Here is an exciting discipleship tool that delivers sound, biblical theology in a way that is compelling and fresh! Grounded in the Faith offers a great corrective to our message-lite and method-driven culture. I know it will benefit not only the young Christian but the mature believer as well.”
“the spirituality Erisman promotes. It is biblically rigorous, culturally relevant, and focused on producing grace-empowered and spiritually discerning followers of Christ. I highly and heartily recommend it.”
“In our postmodern world, it is so critical to become grounded in the historic doctrines of our Christian faith—this is why I commend Kenneth Erisman for this excellent discipleship guide, Grounded in the Faith. Both new and mature believers in Christ can benefit from these timeless and faith-strengthening insights.”
