What do Christians believe? What is typical of the Christian faith
and how Christians live their faith? With 52 questions and answers,
this book gives you an overview of the content of the Christian
faith. You can read it as an introduction to Christianity. If you
are already familiar with it, then it is a deepening refreshment of
the basic elements. The questions are taken from life. Is believing
for simple souls? Did Jesus really exist? What do people do in
heaven? Is God a judge who condemns? Why should you forgive
yourself? Does suffering make sense? Are the other religions wrong?
Has Jesus laughed? All pieces can be read in a maximum of two
minutes. The answer is always followed by two questions to work on
it individually or together with others. There are also references
to five other questions relating to the subject under discussion.
At the end of the book is a list with a short description of 52
common words such as prayer, grace, heaven, Easter, sin, sacrament
and devil. In the text these words are marked with an asterisk.
This book is about discernment. To discern means to look for clues
in your innermost experience in order to know what to do or what
not to do. More precisely, discernment means paying attention to
what is happening in the very depths of your heart. Christians
believe that a careful reading of our deepest emotions can reveal
what God is inviting us to do. The language that God speaks today
is that of human experience. The book opens with a general overview
about the practice of discernment and examines the role of our
heart, our intelligence and our will. It then explains how
discernment can be practiced in daily life, how discernment can
help in making choices, and in knowing whether something is good or
bad. Then ten different emotionally charged situations are
explored. Finally, the book addresses the question of whether or
not discernment is reserved for Christians, and also briefly
discusses discernment in a community setting. The book concludes
with a reflection on discernment as a way of life.
