In a series of warm pastoral letters, written to a young Christian, about the paradox of grace and effort in the life of faith: \"Is my Christian life about trying or trusting?\" \"Would I describe my relationship to God as running or resting?\" \"Is my life more characterized by grace or effort?\" Active Spirituality makes it clear that it is both: trying and trusting, running and resting, dependence on grace and exerting disciplined effort. This balance is not about getting my doctrine right, but is key to living a healthy Christian life. So, pull up a chair, settle in, and read over the shoulder of Chris, a struggling young adult trying to find a church, overcome discouragement, live a chaste life, and develop a plan for spiritual growth, all while learning to rest in the finished work of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shepherd Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46016230949085,"sku":"9781936908578","price":109.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/9781936908578.jpg?v=1741044789","url":"https:\/\/thebookroom.bischopsford.co.za\/products\/active-spirituality-grace-and-effort-in-the-christian-life","provider":"Book Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
