Publisher's Description

▼▲

"A good time to be the church is right now," declares Bishop H. George Anderson. Rather than lamenting the lost influence of the church or dreaming of some golden age, Christians can see the spiritual hunger of our time as a special opportunity to speak and act boldly.

Solidly grounded in the Bible and Christian history, and keenly aware of contemporary issues, theLutheran bishop identifies Christian truths that are especially needed in our time. He recalls his own spiritual journey and encourages readers to tell their faith stories.

In an engaging question-and-answer format, Anderson helps readers clarify their own beliefs and discover ways to share the Christian faith with others.

With questions for reflection and discussion, along with suggested prayers and hymns, this book is a stimulating study guide for congregations, church councils, evangelism committees, and other Christian groups.
