Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? take us into the mystery of God and his plan for us and leave believers with a reason for renewed faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvocative and insightful, with a discussion guide for individuals and groups, \u003cem\u003eSimply \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristian\u003c\/em\u003e offers answers to expand and guide all of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Simply Christian is an amazing testimony to the vitality…of the Christian faith—and to the skill of N.
