How to Be a Liberated Christian

True spiritual freedom--a liberating of the whole person in Christ--is an essential part of mature Christian living. Ruth Truman has discovered it for her life, and in this encouraging book, she shows readers how to acquire this freedom and wholeness for their own lives. Speaking from personal experiences of examining, discarding, and arriving at solutions, she plots a course for maturity in Christian living today. Dr. Truman includes the basics of becoming a Christian; learning to pray; reading the Scriptures; rejoicing; dealing with special attitudes and problems of singles, singles-again, and married persons; parenting; feelings; and coping with todays society. Its all here, the entire sequence of choices to be faced and decisions to be made as you move along into a successful liberating Christian life-style. The result is a life totally committed to Christ, knowing yourself, recognizing the possibilities in that self through Christ, and projecting your new self-image into the world around you. This honest, revealing book opens up new and endless possibilities for continuing creative Christianity.
