Description
Is it possible to embrace faith and lead a Christian life in today’s modern world? This is the question at the heart of How to Be a Christian in Today’s World, an indispensable guide for anyone who is searching for, questioning, or wanting to deepen their faith. Part memoir, part passionate testimony, part self-help guide, in this book, pastor and counselor Reverend Matthew Hogan delivers the practical, compassionate message that it is possible to lead a life of faith while being a part of the world.
Growing up, Rev. Hogan witnessed his parents’ marriage dissolve beneath the stress of losing their son, his brother. He dealt with the grief of losing his father at a young age. He helped his wife, Kimberly, battle health issues throughout their marriage. As opposed to becoming angry or resentful of the challenges he experienced throughout life, Hogan found each challenge to be an opportunity to deepen and grow his faith.
As Rev. Hogan dissects key moments from scripture and shares his own compelling life story, readers will build a foundation for their faith that acknowledges, allows for, and even celebrates worldly experiences.
No matter if you’ve been a Christian many years or are just starting out in your faith journey, everyone deserves the opportunity to truly know God’s love. With this as the core value of How to Be a Christian in Today’s World, Rev. Hogan’s work sets itself apart from other books about faith, Christianity, and spirituality.
Too often in his over 30 years of ministry and counseling did Rev. Hogan witness Christians beating themselves up for living their lives, having the experiences they’ve had, and not being able to fully live up to their potential as a Christian. Seeking to calm the anxiety and self-doubt that rages within the hearts of even the most ardent believers, How to Be a Christian in Today’s World creates and holds a vibrant space for readers to grow in their faith. Removing the pressure so many Christians put on themselves to live up to their faith, Rev. Hogan guides readers towards a more honest, real connection with God and His love.
The book contains a workbook for individual or small group study.
