Synopsis

Many people coming to faith today have no Christian background or knowledge whatsoever. The purpose of Christianity is not simply adherence to a set of beliefs, but a full expression of those beliefs through a life transformed, often in contrast to the prevailing social and cultural mores. Conversion very often means a complete reorientation of values. Part One of this book defines the personal implications of embracing the Christian faith. It describes Christian growth as a lifelong journey of discovery and change, and it sets out the goals of that journey and the support needed to nurture faith along the way. Part Two outlines specific areas of spiritual growth - in faith, worship, prayer, knowledge, wholeness, holiness and service, and offers practical training in each of these areas. The book is a resource for all churches running Alpha Courses, or similar training programmes.
