Excellent primer for new members
Adrian Rogers did a great job on nailing down the basic doctrines we all need to know in our walk with Christ. It requires little additional material to present it to a group.

Adrian Rogers was the best
Dr Rogers puts all his books in common everyday language that anyone can understand. Every statement he makes is Biblically based. Every book is for everyone believers as well as non-believers.

Excellent for understanding the basic foundation
It's ironic that for many who practice the Christian faith, knowing just the simple basic foundations of being a Christian and the Bible, is often missing.
Filled with study questions to not only reinforce the most basic understanding of the foundations of Christianity, but also to serve for either personal or group study, "What Ever Christian Ought to Know" seeks to help new, maturing, or "I didn't know that" Christians (and non-Christians) understand the basic foundations that play a part in the Christian faith.
This is not an in depth book that is going to cover everything under the sun and the moon and the stars, but I like how it does approach the basic of the basics, with scriptural backing and enough coverage to provide anyone with a starting point to go from, particularly with many churches, these days not teaching really, the foundation of the Christian faith.
Not, "preachy" or dry, "What Ever Christian Ought to Know" is filled with personal anecdotal stories that bring a personal tough to understanding the basic Christian doctrines and as the epilogue shares with the reader, its about growing in the faith, not just or about knowing about the Christian faith.
Twelve chapters long and covering key points, friendly, interesting, the book doesn't cover the "hot topics" if that is what the reader is looking for, instead this is a book about encouraging and taking the time to understand what the Bible is about, what following Christ is all about and not about hitting the hot topics that are prevalent these days and in conversations that people will and might encounter in their daily lives.
Looking for down points, it would have been nice if there was an appendix outlining the topics with related scripture or even an index, however, given this is a primer that is created for easy reading, yet with deep meaning, arguably this is a book that I would recommend to new, maturing or maybe even just those who are curious about the Christian faith, due to the book not being too heavy that it would lose a person's interest.
I would't recommend this book if the reader was looking for a book with deeper discussions, but for myself, I felt this was a very good "layman" for the Christian faith to have on one's bookshelf and to engage in personal or group study.
The writing is easy and conversational and with the scriptural references, many will find this to be a great starting point to understanding more about the essential truths needed for a growing faith that does need to be grounded in God's truth.
As someone who is personally busy and often find myself short on time amid juggling schedules and priorities, this is a wonderful book, i that allows time during those busy moments, to understand better the essential truths that make up the Christian faith and developing that strong foundation that is needed as a Christian.
"What Every Christian Ought to Know" truly reaches its goal of ensuring that every Christian can start their faith, understanding the basic essentials needed and in the process be empowered in their Christian growth and life.

Biblical Teaching to Provide A Foundation In Faith
Adrian Rogers with Steve Rogers in their new book, âÂÂWhat Every Christian Ought to Knowâ published by B&H Publishing Group gives us Solid Grounding for a Growing Faith.
From the Back Cover: Let your faith take root
Whether you are just beginning your faith journey, or have been a believer for decades, âÂÂWhat Every Christian Ought to Knowâ will establish you in the core Truths of the Bible, equip you to confidently articulate your faith and empower you to live a dynamic Christian life. In his refreshingly relatable style, Dr. Rogers covers topics such as Salvation, Eternal Security, Prayer, The Holy Spirit, Resisting Temptation and Finding GodâÂÂs Will, and unpacks their practical application for your every day Christian walk.
One of Adrian RogersâÂÂs most popular books, this new edition includes an introduction from Steve Rogers, president of the Adrian Rogers Pastor Training Institute, plus discussion questions for personal reflection or group study.
I first learned of Dr. Rogers through the radio. Every morning on my way to work I would listen to his broadcast and I would learn valuable truth from the Bible. Then I graduated to Television and continue to learn while watching him. It was a very sad day when I learned he passed away. However truth lives on and âÂÂWhat Every Christian Ought to Knowâ is loaded with Bible truth as only Dr. Rogers could present it. Clear, concise, precise these twelve chapters give the reader a Biblical foundation for their faith. The teachings ground the reader with a fresh perspective that will last for a lifetime. This is a book that you will want to give to family and friends that, perhaps, donâÂÂt have a strong Bible foundation. They will always remember your gift and thank you for it. âÂÂWhat Every Christian Ought to Knowâ is a keeper and I recommend it highly!
