This book is arranged in 12 chapters, and each chapter is about an essential belief of Christianity. The author is attempting to identify the core beliefs that all Christians hold in common, regardless of denomination. Each chapter has multiple Scripture references and classical Christian quotes to support the points the author makes, but many of the ideas are left to the reader to decide how to apply them in their life. There are questions at the end of each chapter to support more exploration of the ideas. The author used personal anecdotes and those made this book come alive. I think they would have done so even without the fact that they were set in places I am very familiar with (Lexington, KY and Tampa, FL) but that additional familiarity was a plus for me. I wish I had not waited so long to read this book!
