Question 1

What exactly is the Christian Field Guide?

Accepted Answer

The Christian Field Guide is a scripture-based reference document designed to help Christians articulate and defend their faith in everyday conversations. It covers core doctrines, common objections, and practical apologetics — all grounded in the Bible.

Question 2

How are the five documents different from each other?

Accepted Answer

Each document serves a distinct purpose. The Christian Field Guide is the core reference. Faith Basics simplifies the essentials for new believers or seekers. The Workbook provides guided exercises for personal study. The Workbook Leader's Guide equips small group facilitators. The Companion is a free, concise summary you can share freely.

Question 3

Do I need to buy all five, or can I start with just one?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely start with just one. Most people begin with The Christian Field Guide itself. If you lead a small group or Bible study, the Leader's Bundle (the Workbook + Leader's Guide together for $14.99) is a great value. The Companion is free and a great starting point for anyone.

Question 4

Are these documents suitable for new Christians or only experienced believers?

Accepted Answer

Both. Faith Basics is specifically written for new believers and seekers. The core Christian Field Guide is accessible to anyone with a basic familiarity with the Bible. The Workbook and Leader's Guide are designed for structured study, whether personal or in a group setting.

Question 5

What format are the documents delivered in?

Accepted Answer

All documents are delivered as PDF files. You can read them on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — or print them at home or at a print shop.

Question 6

How do I access my documents after purchase?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after your payment is confirmed, you'll be taken to a download page where all your purchased documents are available. You'll also receive a confirmation email with a direct link back to the download page.

Question 7

What is the Leader's Bundle and how much does it save me?

Accepted Answer

The Leader's Bundle combines The Christian Field Guide Workbook ($9.99) and the Workbook Leader's Guide ($9.99) into a single purchase for $14.99 — saving you $4.99 compared to buying them separately. The Workbook is what your group studies from; the Leader's Guide gives you session plans, discussion questions, and facilitation notes to lead each session with confidence.

Question 8

Is The Companion really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. No email required, no account needed. Just visit The Companion page and download it directly. It's designed to be shared freely with friends, family, and anyone curious about the Christian faith.

Question 9

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Because these are digital downloads, all sales are final once the documents have been accessed. If you experience a technical issue preventing you from downloading your purchase, contact us and we'll make it right.

Question 10

What is First Fruits?

Accepted Answer

First Fruits is our commitment to give 10% of every sale to Christian charities doing the Lord's work around the world. It's based on the biblical principle of offering the first and best portion back to God.

Question 11

How do I choose which charity receives my giving?

Accepted Answer

After your purchase is confirmed, the success page invites you to pick one of six vetted Christian charities. Your 10% allocation is recorded and goes to the charity you choose. You can see the running totals on the First Fruits page.

Question 12

Which charities are supported?

Accepted Answer

We currently support World Vision, Samaritan's Purse, Compassion International, Convoy of Hope, The Salvation Army, and Wycliffe Bible Translators USA. All six are established, reputable Christian ministries with a track record of faithful stewardship.

Question 13

What's included in the license?

Accepted Answer

The free Companion for your entire congregation with no participant limit, plus one base title of your choice — the Workbook, Faith Basics, or the Christian Field Guide. Instant delivery, a shareable member registration link, and a real-time pastor dashboard. Additional titles from the series unlock at a paired discount over your license year.

Question 14

How is a participant counted?

Accepted Answer

A participant is any person in your congregation who receives a printed or digital copy of a paid title purchased under your license. The free Companion can be distributed to your entire congregation without counting against your participant limit. If your Sunday school class of 60 uses the Workbook, that's 60 participants of your 75 or 200 covered.

Question 15

How do I choose the right base title?

Accepted Answer

Most churches pick the Workbook because it's designed for group study with seven ready-to-lead sessions and a facilitation companion. Churches focused on new believers or a membership track often pick Faith Basics. Churches building a reference library for pastoral care or deeper study pick the full Christian Field Guide. If you're unsure, contact Doug directly. No sales pitch, just help finding the right fit.

Question 16

How does the paired-discount progression work?

Accepted Answer

When you purchase your base license, a paired discount on the next natural title in the series unlocks for 30 days. If you add that title during the window, the next discount in the chain unlocks. Over your license year, you can move through the entire series at a discount at every step. If you started with the Workbook, you can add the Leader's Guide at 50 percent off. If you started with Faith Basics, you can add the Christian Field Guide at 25 percent off. If you started with the Christian Field Guide, you can add the Workbook at 25 percent off.

Question 17

What happens if I miss the 30-day discount window?

Accepted Answer

The paired title remains available at full retail pricing through your pastor dashboard. The discount doesn't reopen automatically, but you can always contact us to discuss custom arrangements, especially if you're renewing.

Question 18

What if we outgrow our license mid-year?

Accepted Answer

Just email us and we'll upgrade you. You'll only pay the difference between tiers. If you're approaching your participant cap, we'll reach out proactively.

Question 19

Can we edit or adapt the material?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can shorten sessions, adapt language for your context, translate key passages, or combine sessions for a retreat weekend. The one restriction is that you can't publicly resell, redistribute outside your church, or claim the material as your own.

Question 20

Do license years auto-renew?

Accepted Answer

No. You'll get a renewal email approximately 30 days before your license expires. You choose whether to renew, upgrade to a higher tier, switch to a different base title, or step away. No surprise charges.

Question 21

We're a very small church. Is a license still worth it?

Accepted Answer

If you're consistently serving fewer than 15 to 20 people per year with this material, individual copies from the Shop may be a better fit. The Leader's Bundle is $14.99 for the Workbook plus Leader's Guide together. The Small Church License makes financial sense once you're serving 15 or more participants per year, or once you want to distribute the Companion broadly across your entire congregation.

Question 22

What if we want to try before we buy?

Accepted Answer

The free Companion download is a good preview of the framework and voice. Beyond that, every church license comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try one session with your team; if it's not the right fit, we'll refund in full.

Question 23

Can we add participant seats mid-year?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Additional seats are available in 25-seat blocks for $99. Just contact us or use the Add Seats button on your pastor dashboard.

Question 24

I didn't receive my confirmation email. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Check your spam or junk folder first — confirmation emails occasionally land there. If it's not there, visit the Contact page and send us a message with the email address you used at checkout. We'll sort it out promptly.

Question 25

Can I re-download my documents later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The download page is accessible any time via the link in your confirmation email. If you've lost that email, contact us with your purchase details and we'll restore your access.

Question 26

I have a question that isn't answered here. How do I reach you?

Accepted Answer

Use the Contact page — we typically respond within 2 business days. We're a small team and we read every message personally.
