It is the true core of what will matter most in our lives-preparing for eternity. While much effort and energy is often expended in preparing for retirement, it is a tragedy when eternal preparation is overlooked or neglected. I commend this book to you as you consider this vital matter-preparing for eternity. -Dr. H.C. Wilson, General Director - Global Partners

Spiritual Training 101 is an excellent resource for the church to lead their new Christians on a journey toward maturity. It is practical, life-related and Biblical. Natalie has captured the essence of the Christian journey with simplicity and depth. I recommend this study and enjoy the journey. -Pastor Wayne Briggs, Browns Flat Wesleyan Fellowship, New Brunswick

It is very easy to fall into the routine of simply existing in Christ, yet He has so much more in store for us. Through His Word, our relationship with Him, and the Holy Spirit ministering in our lives, we can become more than just another Christ follower. We can become all He wants us to be, complete in Him! Do you know Him or do you have a relationship with Him? This book will start you down the path toward becoming complete in Christ if you will embrace the principles Natalie talks about and truly apply them to your life. Serving Christ should not just be another thing you do, rather it should be the thing that defines you. Are you ready to be defined? -Rev. Peter Hayes, Havelock Wesleyan Church

Training for eternity is the goal for all followers of Christ but most of us are bogged down in trying to survive daily struggles. However, Natalie focuses on nine Christian fundamentals which most of us could benefit from: some spiritual spring training.
From seasoned Christians to the greenest rookie, this study challenges the group or individual to flex their understanding, from learning to expand and quiet their minds to guarding their tongues in Christian love. This work includes thought-provoking questions and exercises to benefit all readers. -Rev. Dave Cawley CD, New Tusket Baptist Church
