Amanda J, Bible Teacher: ""This book is a treasure. Thank you so much for writing it."" Susan J: ""This book is much needed to clarify confusion in both new believers and long-time believers who have incomplete understanding of what faith is and how we are to live."" Pastor Charles J: ""Start Strong is well written and should find a place in Christian literature."" Beverly W, Small Group Leader: ""I was delighted to read the early draft. Krisan writes with clarity but not wordiness. She seems to anticipate questions and common misunderstandings, and deal with them right off."" Rev. Jack: ""I have very favorable impressions!. The examples are up-to-date and most readers will be able to identify with them. Even when a chapter has a lot of theology that could overwhelm a new believer, Krisan keeps it concise and easy to read.""
