I love all of Melanie’s studies. I have used them with all levels of women. I have just completed this one with 2 different groups. It covers all the basics and secures one’s faith. Her studies are super easy for the leader. I love the memory verses and the Discover Jesus section. We are going to Portrait of Jesus next
I used your Fresh Start study one-on-one with a brand new believer. She has grown tremendously and both of us concur, your study of foundational Truth has been critical. I presented it to my Pastor for consideration to disciple new believers one-on-one, which is also crucial, which he approved! It is truthful, simple but not condescending or overwhelming. Thank you for such a foundational presentation of the Gospel and God’s Word.
My Bible study group is a mixed lot of new believes and others that have been in the faith for years. It has something for everyone and such a unique way to present it. I learn something new each in each and every section. Thank you for making it so easy to share the word!
I am using your Fresh Start study to disciple new believers with great success. It provides a one-on-one, personal foundation to new believers before becoming overwhelmed in group Bible studies and church community. When they finish Fresh Start they are rooted and grounded with a love for Christ and ready to grow. Thank you and bless you!

I love your ministry! I did your Fresh Start study with a group of ladies and all were so encouraged in their faith.
