The Faith by Charles Colson

What Christians believe, why they believe it, and why it matters is the subtitle to Charles Colson's The Faith.

In a generation where Christianity is becoming whatever an individual wants it to be, Colson responds with a resounding, faith-affirming direction.

The Faith is divided into 2 parts. Part 1 deals with God and faith. Colson leads us through what the Bible says about God, Jesus, and the plan for rescue.

Part 2 deals with Faith and life - how our Christian worldview should play out in our society.

Nothing new - nothing Rob Bell-ish in what you will read. In point of fact, this book is designed to be used in church settings (Sunday School and Small Groups). The argument is made that Christians in the West don't truly know what they believe. Or don't know much about their faith. This book is meant to help.

This book is good for anyone to read to re-affirm their belief or to assist in building a firm foundation.
