Practical Christianity, A : Working on transforming our lives
Outline: In this dymanic and encouraging book, the author argues that the test of faith is not so much "What do you believe?" but "How has faith transformed your life and the world around you?" It is through the practice of Christianity that we come to understand its central doctrines, and are drawn into Christian community. In community, we can become not merely a body of like-minded people, but a group of diverse women and men who desire to transform themselves and the world by love.
This book explores:
- preparing ourselves to live in a world that's complex and baffling
- salvation and faith, and the importance of doubt in faith
- prayer and worship, and the ways of God becomes known to us
- love - the demonstration and practice of our faith.
Illustrated with works of art, poems and references to novels, music and films to aid reflection, this book also includes questions for discussion at the end of each chapter. It you have ever wondered how faith may help you live sanely in a messy world, or what role doubt plays in believing, then this book is for you.
