In your hands is a clear, steady guide to the foundational truths of the Christian faith. Written in a warm and accessible style, this book walks through core doctrines without unnecessary complexity, yet never flattens the depth of Scripture. It reflects decades of pastoral ministry, careful teaching, and a settled confidence in the authority and sufficiency of the Bible.
What stands out is the way hard questions are not avoided. Instead, they are met directly and answered from Scripture with pastoral care and doctrinal clarity. The result is a book that is both instructive and encouraging, rooted in real church life and shaped by years of faithful preaching.
Readers will find this especially helpful for grounding new believers, strengthening mature Christians, and providing a reliable resource for church instruction and discipleship settings.

Erroll Hulse (1931–2017)
Joe Nesom has known what he believes and grown in what he believes for almost a score of years beyond half a century. He also has seen the fruit of an affectionate grasp of truth in his own life. He has taught these truths in their biblical context to his local church for decades and has seen that “the truth will set you free” in the lives of hundreds of those who have prospered spiritually under his ministry. This book arises from full confidence in the infallibility of Scripture and an experiential acquaintance with the power of the gospel. Its simple clarity should not mask its profundity. Read, grow, and prosper.
