“In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; in all things, love.” I like this ancient saying. But I’ve been wondering lately what the essentials of Christian faith might be.

I recently completed co-writing a book that shares the Christian good news. It’s now published and available for purchase. But I’m thinking about ways to get this book into the hands of those that need it most!

Writing a short chapter that argues Jesus Christ answers or solves the problems of life proves difficult. Very difficult!
