The Heart of Christian Belief
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
I often look at the physical shape of the Christian Church Cross; the timber represents our physical sentient being. The arms spreading both outwardly and inwardly from the central cross point represent our soul, balanced between our doubts and confidences, between attachments and longings, between our thoughts, emotions, considerations and expressions. The upright beam is our personal spirit lived through the motivations of our conscience, our trusts beliefs and heart felt meanings. Do we outwork our lives downward to the attachments of the accumulated knowledge of the hurt our soul has gathered, or upwards to the goodness of our personal morality. As we focus on the gift of salvation for our eternal being, we are drawn up the pole, no matter how close to the dirt at the base we might allow our doubts and confidences to consider ourselves, our focus is in Jesus.

About the Book
The whole basis of Christianity, and thus salvation is to believe in Jesus Christ. Believing we are saved because we attend church or attempt to be a nice person, plus undertake the activities our church asks of us, is not the same as understanding how and why Jesus is our Christ, for us to thus believe in Him. In simple step by step logical and easy to follow terms this book attempts to bring a heart felt understanding as to who, how and why Jesus is, both as a person and as our Christ; to thus bring us into the eternal salvation of the love song we are each created to become. In Hebrews the Bible states that “God will reward the people that diligently seek God”.
About the Author
Stephen has spent his life progressively seeking the heart of Grace, for the first half without realizing this was the basis of his whole motivation. That is until he sat down and read the Bible, when something clicked inside him and made sense to his studious mind and heart. Now in his late 70’s, this book is his simple offering to share with humanity the gifts he has been given.
