Editorial Reviews

Review

“In a compelling way Stephen Smallman helps us understand . . . the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. This book will prove profitable to all who read it.” -- Jerry Bridges, Author, The Pursuit of Holiness

“Steve Smallman’s stories of how God brings people to new life in Christ are exhilarating―and his refreshing insights into the process of conversion are also immensely encouraging to anyone who wants to share his or her faith.” -- ELLEN VAUGHN, author of Radical Gratitude, Come, Sit, Stay (with Stephen Curtis Chapman) Shattered (with Frank Pastore), Choosing to See (with MaryBeth Chapman), and, Being the Body (with Chuck Colson)

“I believe this book will be profoundly helpful for youth workers or anyone sharing the gospel. Becoming a Christian is a process, not just a onetime conversion event. Steve Smallman biblically maps out this spiritual birth process. Too often Christian workers are frustrated with ‘new converts’ because they do not seem to be growing fast enough. The truth is that many ‘new converts’ may profess with their mouths that they are believers in Jesus Christ, but their hearts and minds are still trying to process the gospel. Smallman helps us understand the process of this miraculous and mysterious work of the Holy Spirit of bringing people into the Kingdom of God. Steve Smallman makes it very clear that in order for the gospel message to be believed ‘it requires a powerful moving of God to make the gospel message come alive to a listener.’ Beginnings is a biblically based work on understanding the process of becoming a Christian. I will highly recommend this book to Young Life staff and volunteers.” -- BRIAN FLETCHER, Assistant Pastor, Spring Run Presbyterian, Richmond, Virginia. Previously with Young Life

“Any campus ministry passionate about students’ lives being transformed will want this book in the hands of their front-line campus staff. Steve Smallman has renewed my own biblical understanding of God’s prior work in the hearts of ‘not yet believers’ while inspiring me to embrace my role as a spiritual midwife in the lives of college students.” -- BRUCE ALWOOD, Team Member, World Harvest Mission. Previously with InterVarsity

“In place of our too-often clichéd born-again narratives, Smallman guides us to a richer understanding that is wonderfully profound and reassuringly practical.” -- MINDY BELZ, editor, World Magazine

“Beginnings has proven to be one of the best-loved and most important books in our program. It is one of the books that we have our fellows read as they consider the themes of grace and true conversion and spend time writing their own spiritual autobiography in preparation for our retreat. We are so thankful for such a helpful book.” -- Joel S. Woodruff, Vice President of Discipleship and Outreach, C. S. Lewis Institute

“Beginnings . . . gave me an interpretive framework of [the] new birth that was not only more accurate, all-embracing, and truthful but, more importantly, God-centered.” -- Rico Tice, Founder and President, Christianity Explored
