Product Description

We humans have acquired tremendous knowledge and achieved great things. We know a lot, and we can do a lot. But do we know how to live? Steve Harper helps us recognize our tendency to search for life through rules and dogmas rather than in relationships with other people and with God. He teaches us to see spiritual life as a movement, where we are always on the way, continually taking steps to align our lives with Christ. He shows us how Christ can be the goal and pattern for our lives, and motivates us to live as God's beloved and as instruments of God's love.

Life in Christ provides a set of questions for reflecting on each chapter and a discussion guide for conversing about the book in groups. This is a book for pastors to use with their congregations and leaders, for book groups to read and discuss together, and for thoughtful Christians to ponder and use as a tool for discipleship.

Publisher's Description

E. Stanley Jones observed that people "know everything about life except how to live it." We humans have acquired immense knowledge and achieved great things. We are enlightened, Jones said, but not necessarily enlivened. Steve Harper has been mulling over this human situation for a few decades and offers his profoundly inspiring conclusions in Life In Christ. Harper helps us recognize our tendency to search for life through rules and dogmas rather than in relationships with other people and with God. By living in relationship, we live as enlivened Christians, the abundant life God intends for us and the life we long for. He encourages us to see the spiritual life as a movement, where we are always on the way, taking steps forward to continually align our lives with Christ. He shows us how Christ can be the goal and pattern for our lives, motivating us to live as God’s beloved and as instruments of God’s love. Harper provides a wealth of helps, including a set of questions for reflecting on each chapter, a discussion guide for conversing about the book in a group, and extensive reading lists for further enrichment.
