"I believe that Christianity is the most EXCITING life that it is possible to live, but so few people enjoy its benefits and accept its responsibilities because they have not been taught, or at least they have failed to learn, what Christianity really is." Many Christians are still trying to earn their salvation. They can't or won't believe in the free gift of grace Christ offers all of us. Anything that good must cost something, they reason. Chuck Murphy, who was an active layman for many years, realizes the failure of most churches to get across to members the basic facts of Christian belief, thus making it impossible for them to develop a more personal and powerful faith. With sincerity, humor, and simplicity, he shows the lay person that by saying YES to God and accepting his free gift he can open himself to the power of the Holy Spirit. Through this experience he will discover that the abundant, Spirit-filled life is a reality here and now for those who are willing to risk putting their lives in God's hands. -Publisher
