In today's uncertain world, storms will arise that test your faith in a loving heavenly Father. At times, the winds and waves of the world's deceptions will roll in and seek to erode your confidence in God.

However, when you hear Jesus' words, receive them, and put them into practice, you will construct a life the torrents cannot shake, "because it was well built" (Luke 6:48). The Purple Book will help you understand foundational truths that God wants you to hear on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism. It will show you how the Bible is "God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It will help you understand that the faith you hold has true power to change lives and transform nations. It will give you a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.

Now in its fourth edition, this book was first published in 1999. After twenty years and three upgrades the book has grown from 500 to 800 pages, representing over four decades of biblical research. A Kirkus reviewer wrote the following about the previous (3rd) edition. "What do Christians actually believe? Barber, himself a practicing Christian, lays it all out in this study guide, which is meant to be used in conjunction with the Old and New Testaments as a resource for 'anyone and everyone who seeks God's knowledge and truth'. The book's organization makes it an easily consulted reference, providing introductions to--and thorough investigation of--major topics such as God, Jesus Christ, living as a Christian, and the nature of evil and sin, as well as the Bible itself. Barber's guide manages to bring together various passages, relating to concepts like the Trinity or the Second Coming, and compare them. As a result, the guide provides more digestible descriptions of these ideas than one would receive from reading the Bible alone."
