Description
About the Book
Christianity is about a relationship between ourselves and God. This book is about getting to know the essential Jesus--the Jesus who lived like us and called disciples, ordinary people who acted like we do, to follow him. Only by turning to God and letting God meet the needs of our human condition can our innermost longings be met.Book Synopsis
Carol Anderson, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, California, has written an ideal introduction to the Christian faith, sharing key moments of her own life and telling the story of Jesus as it is foreshadowed in the Old Testament and presented in the Gospels. She powerfully points out that God is not remote, but personal and involved with His creation, wanting to know and love us. It is through Jesus that we can know God for ourselves without the distortion of New Age philosophy or even religious principles.
