Letters to a Future Saint: Foundations of Faith for the Spiritually Hungry - Paperback

by Brad East (Author)

An invitation to the Christian faith for the bored, the distracted, and the spiritually hungry

Dear future saint,

Why is the gospel worth living for?

Why is it worth dying for?

In these letters, a fellow pilgrim addresses future saints: the bored and the distracted, the skeptical and the curious, the young and the spiritually hungry. Lively and readable, these bite-sized letters explain the basics of Christian life, including orthodox doctrine, the story of Scripture, the way of discipleship, and more.

Interweaving Scripture, poetry, and theological writings, Letters to a Future Saint educates readers in the richness of the Christian tradition. But beyond that, this earnest and approachable volume offers young people-- who may be largely uninformed of the depths of faith despite having been raised in Christian homes --an invitation into the life of the church and into a deeper relationship with God
