Then you wake up the next morning, feeling like a brand-new person, and you have no idea what to do next. The gap between who you are and who you think you're now supposed to be can feel like proof that something went wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade New\u003c\/em\u003e was written for exactly that person: the one who made a real decision and isn't sure what to do with it yet. In thirteen lessons, Matthew Allen walks new Christians through the question underneath all the others—\u003cem\u003eWhat just happened to me?\u003c\/em\u003e—and shows that the gap they feel isn't a failure. It's simply new. And new things grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA First Study in Christian Growth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade New\u003c\/em\u003e is the opening study in a discipleship series built for people in their first season of faith—the recently baptized, the newly converted, and the friends, mentors, and teachers walking beside them. It doesn't assume you have it figured out. It starts where you actually are and builds from there, one honest step at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the book is a single, freeing idea drawn from \u003cem\u003e2 Corinthians 5:17\u003c\/em\u003e: conversion isn't self-improvement, a slightly better version of the old you. It's a new creation. You don't work \u003cem\u003etoward\u003c\/em\u003e a new identity. You work \u003cem\u003efrom\u003c\/em\u003e one. Every lesson turns that truth toward some ordinary corner of a new Christian's life—prayer, guilt, temptation, the church, doubt, the long haul—so grace stops being a word you nod at and becomes the ground you stand on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen lessons, organized in three parts that move from who you are, to how you change, to how you live:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1 — A New Beginning\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Who you are and how you relate to God)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Death to Life\u003c\/strong\u003e — why conversion is replacement, not renovation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Do I Still Sin?\u003c\/strong\u003e — making sense of the struggle that doesn't disappear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTalking to God\u003c\/strong\u003e — prayer for people who feel new at it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListening to God\u003c\/strong\u003e — learning to hear him in his word\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2 — A New Life\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(The inner mechanics of change)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrace Changes Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e — grace as the engine, not just the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDealing with Sin and Guilt\u003c\/strong\u003e — honest reckoning without shame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBecoming Like Jesus\u003c\/strong\u003e — what change actually looks like over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Holy Spirit at Work\u003c\/strong\u003e — the One who does the changing you can't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3 — A New World\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Obedience, community, and the long run)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLearning to Obey\u003c\/strong\u003e — obedience that flows from love, not fear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife Together (The Church)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the imperfect family you grow up in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiving Differently\u003c\/strong\u003e — a changed life in an unchanged world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharing Your Faith Naturally\u003c\/strong\u003e — telling your story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made New: Brought From Death to Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matthew Allen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiritbuilding Publishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e My First Year in Christ · Workbook One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 bible class lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-1-964-80578-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion volumes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spiritbuilding.com\/products\/made-new-from-death-to-life-students-guide?_pos=4\u0026amp;_sid=b2d0d3bc7\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Made New: From Death to Life by Matthew Allen\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade New\u003c\/em\u003e Student Guide\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spiritbuilding.com\/products\/made-new-brought-from-death-to-life-teachers-guide\" title=\"Made New Teacher Guide\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade New Teacher Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharts and Powerpoints\u003c\/strong\u003e are also available for download.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou don't have to have it figured out to begin.
