About this ebook
This first workbook, in this series, is specifically written for the newly-born Christian converts. Links are provided to external resources and to various Bible translation versions from the "Blue Letter Bible" which is - "... a free, searchable online Bible program ..." - because many may not own, nor have access, to a Bible. I generally quote from either the "New King's James" or the "New American Standard Bible" and will indicate otherwise when I use another translation. The book's external links provide supplemental information, background, and concepts to support non-denominational healthy Christian growth. I have incorporated several of my dad's - (Rev. C. G. Gose, Th.D., D.Div.) - sermons, lectures, journals, and articles throughout this entire collection. This workbook, and the online course, could support various Christian ministries, outreach programs, evangelists, New Membership curriculum.

Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do? He replied,
Yes, Lord, you know I love you. Jesus told him,
Feed my lambs." — Gospel of John 21:15 (NET)

About this Workbook
This first workbook is specifically written for the newly-born Christian. Links are provided to external resources and various Bible translations from Blue Letter Bible — … a free, searchable online program …
— since many may not own nor have access to a Bible. I generally quote from the New American Standard Bible and will indicate otherwise when I use another translation. The external links provide supplemental information, background, and concepts. I have incorporated several of my dad’s — Rev. C. G. Gose, Th.D., D.Div. — sermons, lectures, journals, and articles throughout this entire collection. Sister workbooks are:
Book #2 Tending His Sheep
— is specifically written for the newly maturing Christian fledgling
.It builds upon the foundations from workbook #1 by adding the topics of our current and future roles as Christians in both the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. This workbook provides a gentle introduction to various teachings (aka -also known as- doctrines
) and terminology found in Systematic, Historical, and Practical Theologies. We will study their origins, their motivations from those early years toward the encroaching heresies and heterodoxy, and their final traditional agreements
incorporated into today’s church dogma. The sparring sessions
in spiritual warfare become more intense as we review these ancient heresies and heterodoxies
. Preparation before these exercises is strongly recommended.
Bundled offer: Book # 1 & 2 for $9.99
Book #3 Feeding His Sheep
— continues to build upon the information found in workbooks #1 and #2. This workbook presents more difficult messages and parables as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ during his earthly ministry about the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a Constructive Theology workbook about the Kingdom Principles
and discipleship — an insight for today’s church and the Keys to achieving a Successful, Powerful, and Abundant Life in Christ our Lord.

Katherine F. Brown, an American Impressionist, inspired this Book’s cover. It is available from Amazon entitled, Jesus and the Lamb
Print or directly from her business website in various customized formats.
About the Artist
Katherine Brown was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948. Katherine began studying art under Paul Penczner, then the leading portrait painter in Memphis. Penczner, an Austrian by birth, was a classical artist and teacher. Katherine acquired vast technical knowledge of drawing and perspective and built upon Penczner’s instruction at the National Academy School of Fine Art in New York City. Katherine was inspired to sketch Jesus and the Lamb by Isaiah 40:11 (KJV).
This workbook is
… NOT for folks who …
deny the existence of a Supreme Being (I won’t quibble over labels nor appellations);
do not believe in the historical person known as Jesus;
deny Jesus was physically born on Earth from this Supreme Being.
deny Christ as the only method to secure life after the physical death experience.
If any of these statements above represent your current beliefs or attitudes:
Put this book down,
DO NOT read anything beyond the section — Knowing Jesus Personally
DO NOT purchase this book.
DO NOT leave comments nor send "flame mail"
This content is not for debate. The only section written specifically to you, in this FREE sample, is Knowing Jesus Personally
. Beyond that, this book will be incomprehensible and rubbish
in your undeveloped spiritual mind. It won’t make sense, you will hate
(i.e., disdain, have contempt for) it, and find nothing of value. So, let’s save both of us the bother until you come to a point in your life when your awareness has changed. Watchman Nee bluntly said, "The root, the very nature, of the Bible is spiritual. If a man does not have a regenerated spirit, he cannot understand this book; it will be a closed book to him." Please, find another book from the thousands of self-help
, self-development
or new age philosophy
. This workbook IS NOT FOR YOU.
Matthew 22:14,… many are invited, but few are chosen …
… for Believers in Jesus, the Christ, and Son of God.
New Initiates into the Body of Christ — If you have recently accepted Christ into your life, and believe that God raised HIM, and you, from the dead, then this workbook will help you understand
