A Christian course for the twenty-first century, \u003cem\u003ePilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e offers an approach of participation, not persuasion. Following the practice of the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer with quotes from the Christian tradition throughout the ages, \u003cem\u003ePilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e assumes little or no knowledge of the Christian faith. Individuals or small groups on the journey of discipleship in the Episcopal tradition can use \u003cem\u003ePilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e at any point. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There are many different aspects to helping people learn about the Christian faith. We have taken as our starting point Jesus' summary of the commandments. We are called to offer our lives to God through loving God with all our mind, soul, strength, and heart, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Learning about Christian faith and growing in Christian faith is about more than what we believe. It's also about the ways in which we pray and develop our relationship with God, about the way we live our lives and about living in God's vision for the Church and for the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Course 1, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTurning to Christ: What do Christians believe?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the question explored as the questions that are asked at Holy Baptism are discussed. We begin by looking at who Jesus was; why did people want to spend time with him so long ago and why do we promise to turn to Christ and follow him today? This is followed by learning what Christians believe about God, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Baptismal Covenant.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 10, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772895494432,"sku":"9780898699388","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f323665047920cfd565a7687e9bba6dd.webp?v=1780416275","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/pilgrim-turning-to-christ-a-course-for-the-christian-journey-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
