Extract from the foreword:

In preparing for baptism, that most important step of a lifetime, it is of great assistance if the matters to be known and obeyed are summarised in written form. Both teacher and student have a more defined basis for the instruction and this helps in laying a sound foundation of understanding and appreciation of the Truth.

Many have developed their own system to cover the essential background knowledge for baptism but there are many others who really appreciate a guide. These notes have been prepared as an aid and in a rather similar form have been well proven over a number of years…

This book is produced in the hope that it will aid those who accept the challenge of the Lord: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me”.
