<transcy>Grounded in Christ (S'enraciner en Christ)</transcy>
Presentation
These 30 days to grow in faith invite the reader to go through the essential elements of the work of Jesus Christ, of salvation, of life in the Church and Christian hope. Are not these foundations essential for those who want not only to find their way in today's world and understand the issues of the debates, but also to live as Christians without being carried away by all the winds of doctrine and currents of thought ? Christian doctrine is not just a theoretical question, it supports and nourishes the life of the Christian.
For the author, the doctrine is not meant to sit on library shelves, but to be discovered, studied and integrated into the concrete of Christian thought, word and action. This book contains 30 days of daily meditations on several fundamental aspects of biblical teaching: the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, conversion, sanctification, baptism, supper, worship, gifts, new creation, etc., with enlightening explanations, practical suggestions, Bible verses and prayers. There are also four Bible studies on key texts, to be used alone or in groups.
The process leads us to work both on our knowledge and on our life, since the doctrine always has a practical aim. 30 days to revisit the foundations of the faith, and 30 days to take root in Christ!
