Produced for members of The Salvation Army and non-Salvationists alike, this book conveys what the Army sees as essential or not so essential in its Christian faith and practice, explaining why. It shows how the Army places the highest value on each person's relationship with Jesus Christ, and focuses on the Army's aim of putting itself and its people in God's hands for blessing and service.
It reflects on the place and use of specific ceremonies, observances and sacraments in the Church as a whole - some of which have caused both unity and division through the centuries.
The end of each chapter provides opportunity for group or individual reflection. Suggestions for personal response are also offered and related Scripture readings are given under each heading.
Whatever form Christian faith and practice take, and in whichever church, Christians are meant to be a reflection of Christ himself, through dedicated lives surrendered to his will. Each life sacramental – an outward and visible expression of an inward and invisible grace.
