Read the Bible, pray, go to church, tithe . . . is this what it means to live the Christian life? Is there more to living the Christian life than following a list of rules? Have we overlooked the main point? Does your Christian life need to be revolutionized? How did Jesus Christ live by the Spirit? What practical steps can we take today?
If you find yourself unsettled with Christianity-as-usual . . . If you want practical steps on how to know Christ in a fresh, new way . . . Then The Secret to the Christian Life is for you. Youll also want to look for The Highest Life and The Inward Journey, the companion volumes in Edwardss Introduction to the Deeper Christian Life.
