This simple course introduces the Christian Faith. Its aim is to show what the Bible teaches. It can be used on your own, one-to-one, or in a small group with a leader. It is important that you look up the Bible References and think about what they say, so you see for yourself the Bible’s teaching.
If you are not a Christian, as you see what the Bible says there is the call to believe it and so find Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord.
If you are a Christian, it will give you an introduction to twelve basic topics and help lay a foundation which can be built upon as you read the Bible and listen to it preached.
The person who designed the course did it originally for a partially sighted young man who had recently become a Christian. It is written from the perspective of someone who believes the Bible to be the Word of God and the only authority when it comes to what we believe and how we put that into practice.
Rongmei Christian Basics:
‘Christian Basics’ by John Hall has been my guide ever since 2002 while I was doing my B.Th. in Chennai, South India. This book not only reaffirmed the foundation of my faith but also served as a powerful resource throughout my study in the Bible college. By the grace of God Rongmei translation was made possible in the year 2013 and printed 2000 copies. And it has continued to bless the Rongmei community till today. This book is the basic need of every christian and I recommend the same for knowing the basic doctrines of the Bible at the same time leading other believers in the truth.

Nepali Christian Basics:
Christian Basics’ by John Hall is a wonderful doctrinal book for both old and new Christians. I personally have been blessed and my Nepali community through this book. I would recommend this book for all believers especially for pastors and teachers as it will help in teaching basic doctrines of the Bible in a simple yet effective way. It serves as a foundation of faith for new believers at the same time reaffirming Christians faith in the Scriptures.
