Thinking of Him
A simple guide to what Christians believe and why it matters
What do Christians really believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and eternal life? And how do those beliefs shape your walk with Him today?
In Thinking of Him, Pastor Paula Behrens explains the core doctrines of the Christian faith in clear, everyday language, without academic jargon. Each chapter takes one great truth of the faith, grounds it in Scripture, and helps you move from knowing about God to knowing Him personally.
Inside, you’ll explore seven doctrines of the faith:
- God: His attributes and the Trinity
- Creation: Providence and the human condition
- Jesus Christ: who He is and what He came to do
- The Holy Spirit: our Advocate and Sustainer
- The Church: its mission, the Word, baptism, and Holy Communion
- Salvation: justification, sanctification, and prevenient grace
- Eschatology: death, Christ’s return, everlasting life, and the kingdom of God
Made for reflection and group study
Each doctrine ends with review questions and a page for your own journal notes. That makes it ideal for personal devotions, new believers’ classes, or a small group study of seven weeks or more.
What readers are saying
