These Things We Believe - A Layman's Look at the Baptist Faith and Message - Paperback

by S. V. (Steve) Dedmon (Author)

These Things We Believe, A Layman's Look at the Baptist Faith and Message is an alliterative outline of the foundational tenets of Southern Baptists. Its intended purpose is that it may be used by pastors and laypersons to supplement their teaching not only the new believer, but to strengthen Christians of any age to live and share their faith in a world that challenges their foundational beliefs. Written in outline form, it gives the teacher flexibility to incorporate personal examples and experiences to enhance teaching and learning whether it is to new members, those in a Sunday morning Bible study or other learning situations.
