I’ve used many different discipleship materials over the years. First Steps is the best I’ve come across - order of topics, five daily segments per topic, key Scriptures, balance of knowledge and application - just a great tool to help someone take their first steps personally OR to help a believer understand a tool they can use to take their first steps in making disciples of others.

I helped lead this Bible study this summer for our MOPS moms. Many of them are new believers so this was a great study to go through regarding the foundations of our faith. It was also a great review for "seasoned" Christians and reminded me why I believe what I believe. Many great discussions came out of it and we all got to know one another better.
