What Is the Point of Being a Christian

A Christian is pointed towards God, who is the point of everything. If one thinks of religion as just 'useful' then one has reduced it to another consumer product. But if we are pointed to God, this should make a difference to how we live. Christians are usually no better than anyone else, but their happiness and courage. Shot through with humour, friendship and wisdom, the pages of this book outline a manner of living which is at once faithful to the teachings of Jesus and rooted in the tradition of the Church and at the same time responsive to the turbulence of the modern world.
