From the back of the book: Like so many believers, Bob George began his Christian life in love with the Savior only to end up years later disappointed and unfulfilled.

Drawing on his own struggles and years of teaching and counseling experience, Bob cuts straight to the heart of the issues that cause so many believers to start out in excited enthusiasm only to end up merely "going through the motions" of the Christian life.

In Classic Christianity, Bob shows us the way back to the life Jesus provided for us when He set us free from the bondage of the law, teaching us to live in the newness of life led by His Spirit. He answers vital questions such as: 1) What does it mean to have Christ living in me?; 2) How can I experience the joy of the Lord daily?; If I'm a new creation, why do I still struggle with sin?
My Rating: 10

Reviews for Classic Christianity

Review - Classic Christianity

The author points out that Jesus Christ didn't die just so we wouldn't be punished for our sins, but also to give us life through His resurrection. He wants us to live by faith, focused on our new life in Him. The more we do this, the more we'll be filled with His Spirit and dependent on Him. As Bob George puts it, "Jesus Christ laid down His life for us, so that He could give His life to us, so that He could live His life through us." Or to put it another way, "A life of faith is our love for God, resulting in dependency upon God, resulting in obedience to God."

Summaries like this never capture the essence of a book, but I assure you, this is a good one.
