THE NEXT STEP

Once you come to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, what is the next step? If you have been a believer for a while and want to grow further, what is the next step? If you have grown in your faith and want to learn how to help other believers grow in theirs, what is the next step? This book will begin to answer these important questions. In Peters second letter to scattered believers, he challenges us to add seven character qualities to our faith that will help us grow to be more like Christ. The Next Step looks at these seven character qualities, along with Gods corresponding attributes, to help us grow in these qualities as we grow in our understanding of Gods character. In every chapter, Johnson introduces readers to prayer, grace, and practical ways to begin reaching out to the people God places in our lives. The Next Step will help you grow in your daily walk with the Lord and will launch you on a lifelong journey of investing in others to help them walk with Christ. I have worked closely in ministry with Stan Johnson for almost twenty years now. Hes the real deal. His life backs up his teaching. In The Next Step, Stan has provided a clear, practical discipleship tool that can be used individually, one-on-one, or in small groups to help you and others develop godly knowledge, character, and ministry skills. Get it, use it yourself, use it with others, and watch the Lord change hearts and lives. --Steven J. Cole, Flagstaff Christian Fellowship, Flagstaff, AZ Years ago, as a new university student and new believer, I met Stan Johnson on my very first day of classes. Stan not only befriended me, but also encouraged me in the areas of Bible study, personal devotions, Scripture memory, and service to others. I didnt realize it at the time, but it was the spiritual foundation I would build my life on. Get this book in the hands of as many people as you can! --Steve Sundin, Strong Tower Ministries, Orange County, CA Taking the new Christ follower to that ne
