My Review:
Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? What Every Christian Ought to Know is very appropriately titled! Pastor Adrian Rogers explains in details the foundational, essential Biblical truths that every Christ's follower should/must know to be able to stand firm in the faith and grow spiritually. The book covers important topics such as the assurance of salvation, eternal security, faith, the Holy Spirit, how to understand the Bible, and how to handle temptation. Each chapter starts with the Scriptures and ends with 7 thought-provoking questions. I really enjoyed reading this book and appreciated Pastor Adrian Rogers' no-nonsense, Biblically-based teaching, sense of humor, play with words, and use of analogies to make things clearer and easily understandable.
What Every Christian Ought to Know would make a perfect gift for any new believers! However, it is still valuable and beneficial for any believers, young and old. I've been a Christ's follower for many years and I was so encouraged by this awesome book. It confirms what I believe and reminds me why I believe it. So refreshing! I definitely recommend this book to every Christian :)!

"The joy of the Lord is constant, and the joy of the Lord is your strength. Happiness is like a thermometer; it registers conditions. Joy is like a thermostat; it controls conditions." (p.80)
"Your great desire ought to be to know His will. Your great delight will be to do His will. Your great danger is to refuse His will. Nothing is right for you if it is not God's will." (p.145)
