I wrote Christ as Truth, Truth as Christ for my own children when they were in their teens, and it worked. They are all still faithful Orthodox Christians married to other Orthodox Christians and in church every week.
But it’s not just for teens; it’s for anyone needing a deeper understanding of what it means to believe in Jesus Christ.
I’ve never said this about any of my other books, but this book is one everyone should read. I guarantee it will give you either a better understanding of the Christian Gospel or at least a better way to explain the Gospel to others.
Not all religions respect the truth. Christ as Truth contrasts Christianity with three of them: Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. It also identifies five common “enemies of truth”—bad habits of thought that keep people from seeing or admitting the truth. And it explains why the early Church was so insistent in council after council that Christ was both fully God and fully man. (And no, it wasn’t to pay the debt of our sin.)
Please like and share.
It is an excellent book, which we intend to a certain family member who is not Orthodox. Our only criticism is that it contains a few typos, omitted words, etc., so maybe a second iteration with a careful is in order. Thanks again for making this work available.
Which we intend *to send* to a certain family member. See, even I need an editor! I’m my worst proofreader. :>)
Thanks. Let me know what needs correcting. It’s easy to do nowadays.
My wife and I would be happy to assist.
Just email me through this site any corrections you think needed, as soon as you can.
Many congrats, Fr. Patrick!
