The Last Lingua Franca by Nicholas Ostler
In the end, it's all between you and God. What do you really believe? Herein we see the truth about many things in the Bible that most don't even pretend to know. We look at the unseen but very real part of the iceberg of truth.
We've been told that a life of Christianity is hard, yet how is it that Jesus told us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light? In this study, one can readily see that living a life the way others wish you to is truly difficult. At the same time, following the examples and teachings of Jesus is both simple and pleasurable.
You may have your faith strengthened. You may finally develop a faith of your own. You may tweak your relationship with God. You may completely alter your previous beliefs. In some way, you will be changed by your study in this work.
