    The Living God: A Guide for Study and Devotion

    About this ebook

    In this book, the second in the Heart of Christian Faith series, Alister E. McGrath provides an exploration of how we can best understand God using analogies, illustrations, and stories. This short, accessible guide also provides a pastoral and spiritual consideration of the difference that our belief in God makes to the way in which we think about ourselves and our world. With future volumes to examine other core Christian principles, McGrath's new series will define "mere Christianity" to a new generation for many years to come.

      We read a lot these days about ‘fake news’ – but I wonder if such a thing as a ‘fake gospel’ also exists, and how to define it? Does one consider anything that does not bring the believer to maturity, as mentioned in Colossians 1:28, a fake gospel? D

      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian
