Do you really know what you believe? According to Beall, unless you can explain something, then you don't really understand it, a principle he applies here to the topic of Christian doctrine. Using Hebrews 6:1-3 as a blueprint, Beall takes the reader through the "foundation stones" for the doctrine of Salvation. Accessible across denominations, His question and answer format helps guide the reader through in-depth inductive Bible study. Includes review questions following each chapter to reinforce learning. 388 pages in softcover from Bridge-Logos.

Have had this book most of my Christian life.
Am presently, earnestly studying and applying to my life. Have purchased these (2) books for both my Pastor and as an addition to our Christian Educational Library.
I personally use the teaching and information in the Bible study I teach on "Salvation: How to Become a Christian" (i.e., how to mature in our faith once we've be saved)
Unfortunately, we are living in such a time where the church is silent and unlearned on critical matters.
The Bible tells us that we ought to be ready always to give an answer to every man of the hope that is in us. We ought to be able to articulate our faith and why we believe what we believe.
This book on laying foundational truths in order to achieve maturity in our Christian walk is extremely useful and wonderfully laid out.
I highly recommend it for every church's Board of Christian Education ministry as an adjunct in preparing the people to study to show themselves approved unto God, that they all will be workman not ashamed...not lacking...and able to RIGHTLY divide the truth because of complete understanding.
Thank you so much for an opportunity to share.

Our church is currently using this book for our Wednesday night Bible studies. Since beginning this book, our class size has grown and all students have been very excited about what they have been taught. This book is a lifesaver for anyone looking for godly establishment in their lives.

Dr.Beall is one of the best scholars and exegetes in church and Pentecostal history. And man can he preach too. This book is superbly done. His church, Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Hts., Michigan, is one of the very greatest anywhere. This book covers the 6 foundation stones that must be laid in the life of every born again believer to walk successfully with the Lord...great book by a great great man.
