True Spirituality

Does believing in Jesus really make a difference?

Francis Schaeffer had been serving as a pastor for over a decade when he began to wonder if Christianity really made a difference in people's lives. He was tired of not seeing results in his own spiritual life and others'. He found himself talking about Christianity, but not living it.

True Spirituality, a twentieth-century spiritual classic, outlines the result of his effort to "start at the beginning" and honestly re-examine his faith. The book is a treasure trove of wisdom for Christians trying to discover what true spirituality looks like in everyday life. Readers will learn:

• How Christ's death is central to the Christian faith not just for justification, but also for sanctification
• Why you should adopt a posture of "active passivity" to experience the Holy Spirit's transformative work
• The role of God in healing the whole person—whether it's psychological problems or relational ones

This beloved theological book includes a foreword by Chuck Colson and an introduction by Dr. Jerram Barrs, director of the Schaeffer Institute.
