Many Christians are looking for ways to deepen their relationship with God by practicing their faith in everyday life.

Designed to work across a wide range of Christian laypeople, leaders, denominations, and study groups, this is the second edition of the book that Theology called "... a stimulating contribution to the work of making explicit the connection between what Christians do and what they believe."
