Pastor and author Martin Thielen has compiled a list of ten things
people need to believe, and ten things they don't, in order to be a
Christian. This lively and engaging book will be a help to seekers
as well as a comfort to believers who may find themselves
questioning some of the assumptions they grew up with. With an
accessible, storytelling style that's grounded in solid biblical
scholarship, Thielen shows how Christians don't need to believe
that sinners will be "left behind" to burn in hell or that it's
heresy to believe in evolution. And while we must always take the
Bible seriously, we don't always have to take it literally.
At the same time, Christians do need to believe in Jesus--his
life, his teachings, his death and resurrection, and his vision for
the world. A great benefit of those beliefs is that they provide
promising answers to life's most profound questions, including:
Where is God? What matters most? What brings fulfillment? What
about suffering? Is there hope? Thielen articulates centrist,
mainline Christianity in a way that's fresh and easy to understand,
and offers authentic Christian insights that speak to our deepest
needs. This new edition includes a leader's guide, previously only
available online, and a new introduction from the author that
reflects on the book's reception. The leader's guide features
unique and easily implemented aids for carrying out a seven-week,
congregation-wide initiative that will help local churches reach
out to their communities. More information is available at
