New Life in Christ: Exploring the Essentials of the Christian Faith is a booklet by Jack Graham, Senior Pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church. It is a self-published book, available through PowerPoint Ministries (his radio and television ministry). It is also given to any person who, after attending or watching a Prestonwood service online, makes a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and requests the booklet (the requestor is also provided a copy of the New Believer's Bible, a copy of the New Testament in the New Living Translation, the same copy which can be obtained at the church by going to the Guest Central booth and requesting one).
The booklet covers (after the first section which is a Gospel presentation) six "building blocks" designed to help the new Christian grow in his/her faith.
