Back to the Basics: A Return to the Fundamentals of Christianity

The purpose of this book is to provoke Christians to revisit fundamental Christianity. We actually experience much of our spiritual growth from the basic fundamentals or essentials of Christianity. Defined, a fundamental is a basic idea or foundation upon which other ideas are built. It is the common denominator—all other issues are secondary. If a fundamental is diminished, the thing it defined ceases to exist. The list of fundamentals or essentials would definitely include Bible Study, Prayer, and Fasting. There are many others, but the principle is the same—a return to the basics is the most effective way to ensure that we are experiencing spiritual gains instead of emotional highs. My prayer is that this book motivates, encourages, and engages you in the practice of habits and behaviors that have proven to be productive since the early days of Christianity.
