“The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It, and Why It Matters” by Charles Colson

The Kutas/Neel Life Group

The word “Christianity” conjures up many pictures, depending on who defines it. But Chuck Colson asserts that the faith “given once for all” is an invitation to a wonderful vision of life, open to all who will come. The Faith invites all who will – whether believers or skeptics – to explore the basic doctrines of Christianity and find out for themselves what it really means to be called a disciple of Christ – and how to live as a disciple.

Product Description
Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God’s kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. This is the heart of the gospel: God’s search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this?

Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry?have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance?

Those of us who are Christians?have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God’s coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications?

The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.
