David, my answer would have to come with the caveat that I don't have a lot of experience in mentoring new believers. (Much of my answer is based on what worked for me, or more often on what I could have benefitted from in hindsight.) And much of my advice is probably just common sense.
That said, I would encourage them to become active in a Bible-believing Christian church, and to form friendships with other Christians. Reading the Bible daily, even if it's only a few verses, and praying regularly (and through the day as needs arise) is important. I'd also recommend reading other books on Christian evidences, discipleship, and Bible study methods and background. And they should make it a conscious goal to obey God in daily life, and to cultivate an attitude of love towards other people (I John 4:20). Hope that helps!

This might sound a little bit materialistic but "where is the best place for us to order your books from?" when you consider all things like, promotion and cutting out the middle man so you get a bigger piece of the money pie? (Think of it as me just being practical and not about the "love of money" which as we all know is a big "NO NO".) ;-) Sincerely, (wanting to do the right thing) Laura-Lee

I read your answer about your plans for future novels. Since you've been working on a story for nine years so far, I was wondering if you had an update on it's progress for your Followers. Is it possibly on the way soon? You're such a wonderful writer that I hope you find all the inspiration and time you need to finish it.
