This welcoming resource for new communicants can be run by your local church as a short and inspiring course. Echoing the Profession of Faith as found in the Book of Common Order, it is also ideal for individuals who want to privately begin to explore what the Christian faith means. Highly accessible, beautifully designed and with a diverse range of contributions and perspectives, this book is aimed specifically at new communicants in the Church of Scotland but is also suitable for a broader readership within and beyond Scotland. The chapters help readers to explore the ways in which they may already belong to the Christian faith, what Christian faith is, what baptism is, what it means to be part of a Church (with a specific section on the Church of Scotland). It helps readers to explore such questions as 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ?', 'Do you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?' and 'Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?' Each chapter includes a short article, some questions for discussion/reflection, recommendations for further reading from the scriptures and other material and contributions designed to explore 'hot potato' issues such as suffering, other religions, heaven and hell and human sexuality.

Learn - How Will Our Children Have Faith? builds on the Learn range of publications and begins a series of smaller study booklets for use by congregations of all denominations who want to ensure that children and younger people are fully included and involved in the life of their local church. Designed in the Learn style, the booklet consists of four group sessions that invite a deeper understanding of engagement with young people in church life, evaluation of your parish's needs, identification of specific local issues and, most importantly, offers a practical way forward. Invaluable for people in leadership roles, children's workers, youth workers and congregations, this booklet is for use sequentially, following each of the sessions in turn. Its format and content have been thoroughly piloted to ensure that this is a valuable resource. Highly accessible, beautifully designed in full colour and with a strong contemporary perspective, the sessions are short, informative, accessible and accompanied by questions for discussion and suggestions for further action.
