Synopsis

"If your vision is out of focus, simple tasks like driving, reading, and writing become difficult to do well. Faith is not all that different. In order to follow Jesus and become more like him, it helps if you can see your faith clearly―it helps to have a theology that you live by. Theology is simply the study of God and the Christian faith, and the understanding of how God and faith play out in our everyday lives. In Clear, you’ll walk through the foundations to a Christian theology so that you can better understand God and bring his truths into focus. You’ll learn more about: · God · Jesus · The Holy Spirit · Humanity · Sin · Salvation · The Church · Heaven At your own pace, you can work through the interactive exercises in this book to grow closer to God and to bring your faith into focus. You’ll have opportunities to study the Bible, pray, put your new knowledge into action, and much more. If any part of your faith seems a little blurry, this book will help you see it more clearly."
