Product Description

Being Christian.

What Does That Mean? And How Do You Do It?

However you answer those questions--even if the answer is "I don't have a clue!"--you need this book. Here Steve Arterburn and John Shore tackle some simple but complex questions that just about everyone has about being Christian. And they do so using everyday language. Not churchy language. Not confusing language. Not the language of seminary professors (which they aren't). Here you'll find real questions, like

• How do I know that God loves me personally?
• Is there any sin that's beyond forgiving?
• Will being a Christian help me get rid of my bad habits?
• Why are there so many Christian denominations?
• Should I join a Bible study group?

Go ahead. Take a look inside the book. Read the answer to a question or two. See how Steve and John write like people talk, like you might talk with friends over lunch. In fact, after you read the book, you'll probably want to talk about it with some friends, because just about everyone you know has some of the same questions about being Christian.
