A primer that is direct and simple to understand

Written by a retired pastor, Spring Training for Christians: Getting Your Faith in Shape is a solid manual for exploring and striving to improve the strength of one's faith in God. Spring Training for Christians emphasizes the importance of skepticism in regarding such variations of Christianity as Deism, Pantheism or Materialism, drawing directly upon literal interpretations of the Bible (although some reasonable leeway is allowed in certain cases, literal interpretations are recommended as the first recourse for those struggling to understand Biblical meaning). Jesus Christ is discussed "as a prophet, Jesus spoke God's word with authority. As a priest, Jesus offered his own life as a sacrifice for the sin of humanity. As a king, Jesus rules the universe with the authority of God." Powerful and thoughtful discussions of faith in plain terms distinguish Spring Training for Christians, a primer that is direct and simple to understand for readers of all backgrounds.
