Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Christianity
We do not mean to imply in the title of this book that there are two kinds of Christianity, - one kind which is "practical" and one that is not. We simply mean that this book does not deal with speculative problems, but with the facts of life.
It is said of Socrates that he brought philosophy down out of the heavens to the earth. The statement means that Socrates abandoned the fruitless speculations of the early Greek philosophers concerning the origin of the universe and the constitution of the heavens and the earth, and sought instead for a practical method of life. How can a man realize in his own life the highest Good? This is the all important question with him.
In a much truer sense Jesus Christ brought religion out of the heavens to the earth.

Practical Christianity (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles short essays related to living a Christ-centered life. Its author believes that there is no such thing as a passive Christian, that every true believer is called to an active life of service and outreach in order to spread Christ's word and enact His teachings. The author argues that this was Christ's purpose himself, and thus the true measure of a Christian life is not popularity or accumulation of riches, but rather the extent to which we do God's will and make our life count in practical service to others. Many of the essays included explore the interconnectedness of the physical and spiritual worlds, and the idea that we cannot truly be Christian in only one aspect of our lives while ignoring others. By exploring the idea of an active Christian life in a non-academic way, this book will be especially appealing to general readers seeking guidance on how to better live a Christ-centered life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330594520_0
