About the Book

This is the “Christian” reality.

In today's modern world it is even more important for you to have a steadfast relationship with Christ. However, new technologies, entertainment, political strife, and other worldly temptations are fundamentally dismantling your walk with God.

It is a world in which we wear the “Christian” brand but have no recognition or love of the Creator. This book describes some of the causes and effects — a series of reminders of basic Biblical principles, shared in a new light.

Sometimes all it takes is hearing the same information stated in a different way for it to “click” — and my prayer is that it clicks for you.

“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

James 4:4 · NKJV

FAQ

Questions this book answers.

If you have been asking any of these, The Christian Reality was written for you.

Why does my faith feel shallow even though I call myself a Christian?

+

Many of us wear the “Christian” brand without a real recognition or love of the Creator — that is what this book calls the “Christian” reality. The Christian Reality walks through the basic Biblical principles that turn a borrowed label into a genuine, steadfast relationship with Christ.

How do I come back to God after falling away from my faith?

+

You are exactly who this book was written for. It is a series of lessons for new believers and those returning to Christ — a foundation laid brick by brick, beginning with the Truth of God's Word and moving through belief, repentance, righteousness, the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare, and the end times.

What should a new believer in Christ read first?

+

Read your Bible first — nothing can replace it. The Christian Reality says this plainly: you will get more out of reading the Bible than a thousand “Christian” books. This book is a companion to it — the lessons the author wishes he knew as a new believer, packaged so they finally “click.”

How are technology and entertainment affecting my walk with God?

+

New technologies, entertainment, political strife, and other worldly temptations are quietly dismantling many believers' walk with God — often without them noticing. The book describes these causes and their effects, and how to guard a steadfast relationship with Christ in the middle of them.

How can I know what is actually true?

+

The Word of God is the one thing we know to be 100% true, and it is the lens through which to view the world today. Chapter 1, “Truth,” lays this cornerstone first — because every other part of the faith is built on it.

What does real repentance look like?

+

More than a one-time apology — it means to turn, and keep turning, toward God. Chapter 3 walks through what repentance really means and how to apply it in daily life.

Is spiritual warfare real?

+

Yes — there is a real war and a real threat, and every believer has a part in it. Chapter 6 is devoted to spiritual warfare: what Scripture says about it and how to stand.

Should Christians fear the end times?

+

No — believers can approach what is to come with clear eyes and steady hope. Chapter 7, “End Times,” closes the book by looking at what lies ahead without fear.
