    Even if you have a personal relationship with Christ already, Confessions of a Christian will help you see that you dont need to be intimidated by your past or present circumstances, and that in fact God wants to hear about them and walk with you, right through them, every day.
    Through the authors shared personal experiences, study questions, and multiple opportunities to pray and reflect, draw closer to Christ and beginor continueyour walk with Him by your side.
