The Alpha Course – in book
form. That pretty much says it all. Nicky Gumbel shares his own personal journey
from atheist, to agnostic, to acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior. Nicky is the pioneer of the
Alpha Course, which ( in Nicky’s own words ) “is designed for nonchurchgoers,
those seeking to find out more about Christianity, and those who have recently
come to faith in Jesus Christ.”
Questions of Life contemplates 15 crucial questions that need answers
if one is to be an authentic follower of Jesus.
Questions like: “Is There More To
Life Than This?”, “Why Did Jesus Die?”, and “How Can I Make The Most Of The
Rest Of My Life?” In this book, Nicky
covers topics such as faith, prayer, the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, and the
Church. He also tackles some sticky
questions such as “How Can I Be Filled With The Holy Spirit?”, and “Does God
Heal Today?” And he does so in a careful,
candid, and clear manner, anticipating and responding to side questions that
are sure to pop up.
Questions of Life is a warm-hearted conversation from one believer to
those who may be sitting on the fence, dipping a toe in the water, or taking
the plunge into Christianity for the first time. I’m reminded of an illustration that fits
this book: “Christianity is just one
beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” Are you hungry?
