About this ebook

Dr. Virgil Brady claims one of the major reasons for indifference in the church stems from being asked to believe the unbelievable. People leave the church. Members become inactive or indifferent. A growing number of the population simply does not experience the church as a viable channel for expressing their religious convictions. Certain religious ideas play a role in the threat of terrorism. The author addresses the issues of unnecessary divisions and tension in our churches, the nation, and around the world. Believe the Believable will help people grow a strong faith while dealing with religious diversity.

Written for laity, Believe the Believable uses intelligible language and helpful illustrations to clarify the basic tenets of the Christian faith. Church groups and classes will find Dr. Brady's book a useful resource.
