Now What? A New Believer’s Guide

Now What? A New Believer's Guide by Elijah Rodriguez, Lead Pastor of Hope Worship Center, NJ, is a practical, scripture-based resource designed to answer the vital question every new believer asks after salvation: "What's next?"

While many churches celebrate the moment of salvation, new believers are often left without clear direction. Pastor Rodriguez draws from years of ministry experience to provide an immediate, accessible tool to place in their hands-a guide that not only explains what salvation means but also equips them for the lifelong journey of discipleship.

Through encouragement, biblical truth, and practical challenges, this book covers the foundational steps of faith, including salvation, baptism, prayer, studying God's Word, worship, fellowship, discipleship, identity in Christ, and living a holy life. Each chapter helps new believers embrace God's love, overcome trials, serve in His Kingdom, and share their faith with confidence.

More than a manual, Now What? is a companion for the early stages of walking with Jesus, ensuring that new believers do not simply make a decision but begin building a strong, lasting relationship with Christ. Rooted in Matthew 28:19's call to "make disciples," it emphasizes that the Christian journey is not about tally marks but transformation.

Whether you are a pastor, leader, or new believer yourself, this guide provides a clear roadmap for thriving as a disciple-fully alive in Christ, filled with His Spirit, and empowered to impact the world.
