The Life We Claim. James C. Howell

Using the Apostles’ Creed as the “primary text” this book&nbsp; explores what we believe as Christians and how those beliefs are relevant today.&nbsp; The author’s goal is to help pastors educate and transform members of their congregations.&nbsp; He examines the Creed phrase by phrase in brief sections suitable for congregational study or for emailing to the congregation.&nbsp; For each phrase in the Creed, a «deeper reflection» provides material for preaching a 13-sermon series or for&nbsp; further congregatonal study. A detailed appendix includes recommendations of hymns and songs related to each phrase in the Creed; the suggestions are keyed to several hymnals and songbooks.<br>
