Faith, Spiritual Growth, Theology 

CONTENTS: To whom will we give our allegiance? in whom will we put our trust? - Why believe in Jesus? - What does it mean to build your life on Jesus Christ? - When do we feel God's pleasure? -- Why can Christians face death triumphantly? O death, where is thy victory? O grave, where is thy sting? 

     The Christian gospel says to us, “Here is the One who can deliver you! Here is the One who can save you. Follow him, and you can live. He will lead you to commitment, to love, and to life.” I believe that with all of my heart, but I also know that there are still a number of tough questions we grapple with daily in these challenging times. How does faith help us when problems arise? How does the Christian faith strengthen us when suffering or tragedy or heartache explodes into our lives? How does the Holy Spirit help us? Did Jesus really mean for us to love everybody? In this hectic world, with so many things crying out for our allegiance and support, whom can we trust?      Faith is the answer, of course, but still…what are the questions? And how do we respond to them honestly, creatively, and redemptively? That is the adventure before us. These, and other questions, we will deal with in this book.   —James W. Moore, adapted from the introduction
