This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay strong spiritual foundations in his or her life.In this eighth book, we will see the importance of being a part of a spiritual family united under Christ. This spiritual family gives us a place to grow and learn from other believers how to live our Christian lives. We need this input from spiritual leaders and fellow believers. We need one another. We are not supposed to live the Christian life alone. God's will is for every believer to be connected to a local church where he can be trained, protected, and available to serve others.Use these books to lay a solid foundation in your life, or if you are already a mature Christian, these books are great tools to assist you in mentoring others.
