Start Strong gives new believer's a solid biblical foundation, without Christian or seminary jargon. It's the book to put in the hands of anyone who's just said yes to Jesus and is wondering what comes next.
For more than 40 years, Krisan Marotta has studied and taught the Bible. She is the creator of the Wednesday in the Word podcast, which reaches more than 50,000 listeners a year across 150+ countries, guiding them to discover Scripture's truths for themselves.
What you get:
The Introduction — who the book is for and how to use it, whether you're new to faith, returning after years away, or trying to help someone who is.
Chapter 1 — the foundational question every new believer is quietly asking, answered plainly without churchy shortcuts.
Start Strong is for you...
For your own walk:
- You want clear, biblical foundations without the jargon (and without feeling talked down to).
- You're seeking straight answers to questions like: Am I really saved? What is faith? What does repentance mean?
- You want help connecting faith to real life — relationships, sex, work, money, and wise choices.
For someone you're discipling:
- You're a parent, mentor, or friend looking for a safe, theologically sound book to give a new believer.
- You teach a new members class, foundations class, or discipleship group and want a structured guide.
- You want a simple plan you can use to walk someone through the basics one-on-one.
