Whether you are a new Christian, or have been for a while and feel in need of a refresher, or have been around church for years but things have only just clicked into place for you, this inspiring and practical book will give you the essentials—what you really need to know if you’re going to follow Jesus.
Gary Millar shows readers how letting the fundamental truths of the gospel take root in our hearts changes everything about the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. He explores what this miraculous change on the inside looks like on the outside as we live our lives shaped around gospel priorities.
Packed full of warmth and wisdom, this book will set anyone up for a lifetime of living for Jesus. It's perfect for giving to new Christians and makes a great gift for baptisms or confirmations. Mentoring questions are included for each chapter, so it's also an ideal resource to use in one-to-one discipleship with younger believers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Gary Millar has given us that rare combination, an accessible book written in a warm, engaging, realistic style but with content that has a depth arising from a thorough and thoughtful biblical and theological understanding. It will be a thoroughly useful book and I commend it warmly.
--- Christopher Ash
I have been a Christian for sixty years, and I benefited from this book for beginners, and loved being challenged and encouraged by it. I wish I had been given it when I started out, but it would be worth reading at any stage.
--- Peter Jensen, Former Archbishop of Sydney
If there is one profound yet simple book to read that will help you watch your life and doctrine closely, this is it. Gary Millar has written an engaging, Bible-saturated and Christ-exalting guide to the gospel-shaped life, which he clearly lives.
--- Richard Chin, National Director, The Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students
It’s overwhelming to think of all the things I’d like to tell someone who is starting their journey of following Christ. I’m so glad Gary Millar wrote this book; he distills and explains what you need to know in a way that anyone can understand. This book is clear, faithful and relatable, and will be a joy to start giving away to friends!
--- Gloria Furman, Author, Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and Labor with Hope
Gary Millar has written a compact little book on what it means to live as a Christian. But compact and little does not mean it is not also deep, profound, and comprehensive. Whether you are a new Christian, a Christian struggling to see the way ahead, or have been on “a long obedience in the same direction” for a while, this book has much to offer.
From understanding who God is, to living with God, to knowing ourselves and being transformed, to living in community, and how we see the world, this book explains what your Christian walk can, and should look like.
You get a very real sense of the honour it is to live for Christ, as well as the responsibility involved. Gary shows that it is also hugely ennobling and deeply confronting. He does not blithely tell us this life will be easy and rosy. As he says, living as a Christian is not complicated, but it is hard. His honesty about the difficulty is refreshing. The roadmap you are given for what living for Christ looks like for your everyday life is Biblically sound. It is evident that he knows the Bible well, and is passionate that we, along with him, go all in on our Christian walk.
There is a lot to encourage us as well as instruct us . Yes, the Christian life might be hard, but Gary clearly shows us we are not alone; that we have help for the journey. This life shaped by the gospel is the life we were created for. It is the only life where we will one day receive a crown. So read this little gem and be encouraged to “fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith”.
