Description
True Christianity: It May Not Be What You Think seeks to define true Christianity and to help persons progress toward practicing it. The second edition includes some changes/corrections, some updated links, and seven new chapters, which makes a total of 51 chapters (in addition to the introduction). The book's introduction is followed by 51 mainly very short chapters that are subdivided into five parts. The chapters in the first part define true Christianity (also called authentic Christianity or real Christianity) and offer general guidelines for practicing it. Chapters in the second section discuss specific attitudes and beliefs. Chapters in the third segment cover specific behaviors. The fourth portion is probably the most unusual one. It discusses the relationship between Christianity and some other beliefs and practices. This fourth section includes generally very brief discussions of subjects such as atheism, agnosticism, religions other than Christianity, hypnotism, mental illness, and ESP. One chapter in this fourth part deals briefly with some of the unusual events the author has experienced or witnessed. Part five concludes the book with a brief summary/epilogue. A few chapters in the book deal much with the author's own views and/or experiences. A few cite numerous other sources to support the author's views. All chapters reflect the author's personal perspective rather than that of any particular Christian denomination or any other person. Each chapter after the introduction contains two or more sometimes provocative "Questions for Reflection and Discussion." The author hopes the book will help persons live happier, healthier, longer, more fruitful lives by coming closer to practicing true Christianity.
