Many new believer resources focus on all the things a new Jesus follower must either do or believe, like weekly church attendance or the inherency of Scripture. This is New Life focuses on all the things made available to them, as part of the Gospel Good News, in addition to forgiveness of sin and our heavenly home.

Many new believer resources unintentionally use Christian jargon or assume a background in biblical concepts. This is New Life relies on analogies that everyone will be familiar with for explaining profound spiritual truths, just like Jesus did with his many parables.

Most new believer resources contain only text and when they do contain artwork, it is often low-quality, cheesy, or dated. This is New Life utilizes compelling artwork throughout to engage a modern audience in a more impactful, appealing, and emotionally engaging way.

Many new believer resources are either too long (number of days to complete, chapters, or pages), making them feel burdensome, while others are so short they lack enough substance to make an impact. This is New Life strikes a balance of being short enough to feel approachable, while long enough to impart real substance. The book takes 2-4 weeks to complete @ 10-20 minutes/day (including activities).

Some new believer resources lack activities or action steps and when they do, are often very abstract or general, without clear, practical direction. This is New Life gives several clear steps for people to both embrace and live out this New Life in Jesus.

Many new believer resources can be highly academic or an overwhelming list of things you need to start doing, often removed from a clearly stated “why”. This is New Life is meant to inspire new believers with the awesomeness of what Jesus has done for them both intellectually and emotionally, with clear ways to engage with this Good News.
