The book is simple and easy to comprehend for anyone who wants to know more about the Christian faith, especially those who are new to the faith. God works in everyone’s life, despite the fact that within the Christian faith spiritual warfare rages between God and his powerful enemy, Satan.

The Christian Faith: A Quick Guide to Understanding its Inter-workings by Reid A. Ashbaucher opens with an explanation of the origins of the Bible, and the differences between that pertaining to Anglican worship, in its many forms, and Catholicism. The facts on which all of them depend is belief in Jesus Christ being the Son of God, and in the Holy Trinity. “The Christian Faith” is divided into six chapters, complete in themselves, but interlinked: reading the whole book is necessary for both individual understanding and preparation for debate if the book is to be used by a discussion group. Included are: Study Notes to facilitate group activities; “Endnotes” with links to more information available online, and other book titles and, more importantly, advice on what to look for when choosing which church to attend.

A confirmed Christian, I wondered what to expect of a book that promised to reveal more about my faith. Would it be of value and interest to me, or more appropriate to a new Christian, or a person either uncertain about commitment or simply academically curious? The Christian Faith: A Quick Guide to Understanding its Inter-workings is fascinating and appropriate reading for all the above mentioned potential readers. It starts with how, when and by whom the Holy Bible was written, and how the many influences, like Martin Luther, had upon the Holy Bible we know today, and four versions are recommended. Mr Ashbaucher’s most telling statement for me is this one: “a gift can only benefit someone who receives it.”
