Christian Basics: A Handbook of Beginnings, Beliefs and Behavior

Do you wonder what Christianity is all about? The essence of the Christian faith is not a creed, a code of conduct, or a collection of worship ceremonies. Christian Basics explains how Christianity revolves around the person of Jesus Christ and our relationship to him. What does the Christian believe? Christian Basics presents summaries of Christian beliefs, structured around an affirmation of the three persons of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. How does one live as a Christian in a complex world? Jesus summed up God's moral law in terms of love - not sentimental or selfish, but strong and sacrificial. Christian Basics explains how to build up your spiritual strength through a disciplined life in the Spirit. In the Preface, author John Stott expresses his hope for readers of Christian Basics: "At whatever stage you are in your spiritual journey, I pray that something or other in this little book may help you to 'grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ'" (2 Peter 3:18)
