I am currently going through this book now. Can't remember the author's name.. but i assume its the same one (brown and beige cover with a picture of a pine tree right?)
Its quite similar to the 'everyday with jesus' format in terms of format... I guess its a good book for new christians and provides some foundations for christian living.
Some other authors you may wish to try are those by philip yancy or neil anderson or C S Lewis. I quite like philip yancy's books as he being an ex-journalist, is very analytical and logical in his content. (And I picked up alot of trivia knowledge as well.
)
Happy reading and hope the content 'speaks' to you.
