People say, Come to Jesus, and everything will be all right. Although this is true, there is a wide gap between conversion and everything being all right. As a new Christian, your old friends may think youve changed too much, while your new church friends may think you havent changed enough. Youre supposed to handle things in view of Christ, but how do many of His teachings translate to modern life? And then there are the difficulties involved in finding a church. CHURCHIN AINT EASY is a guidebook for the new Christian, written by Jennifer Gilbert, an experienced preacher, teacher, and prophet whos not afraid to tell it like it is. Gilbert includes her own personal struggles to encourage you and make her lessons applicable to your daily life as you walk the Christian path. She helps you navigate between your lifes destruction and your lifes destiny by answering questions like, What am I supposed to do now?, Why so many churches?, and more.

Develop your walk with Christ in order to become a successful and balanced Christian, filled with the Lords peace, love, and understanding.
