The Life We Claim

Using the Apostles' Creed as the primary text this book  explores what we believe as Christians and how those beliefs are relevant today.  The author's goal is to help pastors educate and transform members of their congregations.  He examines the Creed phrase by phrase in brief sections suitable for congregational study or for emailing to the congregation.  For each phrase in the Creed, a "deeper reflection" provides material for preaching a 13-sermon series or for  further congregatonal study. A detailed appendix includes recommendations of hymns and songs related to each phrase in the Creed; the suggestions are keyed to several hymnals and songbooks.Read less
