Publisher's Description
Those who are new to faith in Christ or have led other people to faith in Christ understand that the first few steps of faith in Jesus are critical. Weight Shift attempts to answer questions in at least two realms--basic Christian belief (orthodoxy) and basic Christian action (orthopraxy). It will address questions such as "Who is Jesus?" "Who is the Holy Spirit?" "What really is prayer?" and "What are a few initial steps of faith a new Christ follower can take?" Ironically, there are few books today that address the early stages of the Christian faith in basic, easy to understand, practical ways. Weight Shift does this and more. There are hundreds of thousands of people coming to faith in Christ every year who need guidance, help, and solid answers as they navigate their first few steps of faith. A bevy of books will be recommended throughout one's faith journey--hopefully many that are helpful. Even so, Weight Shift was written in hopes it might be the first.
Endorsements (5)
“Berg has been gifted with both a pastor’s heart and a scholar’s mind. His ability to break down the divine mystery of Christ into practical and tangible experiences is a gift to all who respond to the love of Jesus. I have no doubt that his writing will be of great help to you wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith.”
“Weight Shift is one of those books that captures you and won’t let you go. Berg uses the analogy of an infant learning to walk, how there is much falling in the process. Faith is much the same. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is investigating their faith.”
“Sometimes the most miraculous change comes from the slightest movement: an intake of breath, a blink of an eye, or—in the case of Weight Shift—a lean into what could become a momentous first step into new life. For those who have questions, Weight Shift has answers: simple, biblically sound responses that will encourage seekers to take that first step on their journey of faith.”
