A new Christian should read the Bible, as it contains all the information you need to know and strengthen your walk with the Lord.
Sometimes the Bible can be confusing, so what other books or resources do you recommend?

A concordance. You can cross-reference verses. and
you can see how the word is used in different places and get the meaning.
Stay away from the Greek and Hebrew.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. |

Reps: 1,057 (power: 16) | | | I would suggest going through a class at you church or a study through a book of basics of the Christian faith. These are the things that are what Christianity is all about. Like the Nature of God, Who was Jesus, The Trinity, etc. Learn these primarily first. Know them so well that you will know it when you do not hear it. That is so important.
I hope this post goes along with your post Stogus.

Reps: 208,318 (power: 221) | | | An awesome study aid is clarence Larkin. He has books out that date back to the 1900's that have charts that many bioble insitutes have. One of his best study aids is dispensation truth. He also has more books. I love these because there are charts that really let you see the history of the bible in a nutshell and gives you a visual of what things mean and why they are written. Sure its his perception but you can learn and develop your own perception wthru these books and charts alone.
Good luck to you.
There are sample pages on the web..just put his nameor name of book on a search engine.GEL

Reps: 293 (power: 0) | | | Prayer is invaluable also. I would also recommend a book called Halley's Bible Handbook. Also as Blackhaw6 suggested, a New Believers class at a Bible believing and teaching church.
__________________ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1-2) Faith in Christ is not belief without proof, it is trust without reservation.
I have found no greater joy, than to live totally surrendered to Jesus Christ. |

This link contains some useful info. It is not denominational or anything. Just gives guidelines and steps for studying the Word. It doesn't tell you what anything means....just the steps to study on your own. It has been useful for me hope it can benefit others.
Love in Christ
