Living According to God’s Will: Principles for the Christian Journey

Temporarily out of stock

The task of man's earthly life is preparing himself for eternal salvation and blessedness. To attain this, a man must live in a holy and pure manner - that is, according to God's will. In this short but incisive treatise the reader is guided on a spiritual journey that begins with the awakening of conscience and the realisation of the presence of both sin and virtue in the world, culminating in a union with God: that is \"a living, personal relationship with the one we love.\" In following the path of this ascent the author delineates many of its markers and stresses that these have both personal and societal aspects. This book is suitable for both private reading and group study. Questions for discussion or contemplation are interspersed throughout this edition. A short biography of the author is also included.
