9781773560304: Introduction to the Devout Life

Synopsis

Too often we ask ourselves how to live a Christian yet live in a fallen world. How we interact with the world around us can be a powerful testimony but we still get confused as to just how to go about doing that. This work, though written many years ago, still stands as a strong guideline of how to go into the world and be the salt and light that Christ called us to be to other people.
