About How to be a Christian Without Being Annoying
If you have questions, look no further; we have answers
Read why Christianity is life’s logical choice
- Some of us get tense when we wonder what God thinks about us.
- Others consider life as a do-it-yourself, do-it-alone project.
- Lots of us think talking with God is like having tea with the Queen. You have to clean up and put on your best duds to get in the door. And then you can only say what you think the Queen wants to hear.
- And there are those who believe God wants to turn all of us into some version of Casper Milquetoast, with no energy, no goals, no dreams.
Then along comes Bette Dowdell to scrape away the barnacles and take us, step-by-step, to an understanding of Christianity’s fundamental purpose: a loving relationship with the father we always hoped for. A Daddy who knows us, loves us and wants the best for us, a daddy who has the power and the desire to help us.
This is not about pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking that says Jesus takes away all our problems. Dowdell has both feet firmly planted in reality. Nor is it about working on our willpower to push ourselves to be more than we are. Its about allowing God’s power to make us all we were ever intended to be.
Few people seem to understand that nobody can be a Christian in their own strength. Willpower and positive thinking won’t get the job done. We need a big dose of God’s power to succeed. But many try to go it alone, with no idea it’s a losing battle. This book explains how the real thing works.
To fit our busy times, this book comes in one-page chapters that take just a minute or two to read, and you can dip in anywhere. Each one-page chapter is accompanied by a related excerpt from the Bible so, as Bette says, you can know for sure she didn’t make anything up. You’ll appreciate the humor, warmth and encouragement–as well as the fact that Bette doesn’t try to strut her extensive Bible knowledge, but puts everything into everyday terms.
We’ve heard great reports–from teenagers, from senior citizens and from everybody in between. How to be a Christian Without Being Annoying describes Christianity in a way that lets you know how all the pieces fit together. Bette says if you know how it all works, you’ll be at peace, which won’t annoy anybody.
Praise for How to be a Christian Without Being Annoying
Bette Dowdell’s passion for the unchurched is extraordinary, as is her advice to the new, or the about-to-be believers. Give her book to a friend who is looking for the answers. –Hugh Hewitt, Talk show host and best-selling author
Bette Dowdell has done a superb job of simplifying what Christianity is about. I would recommend it for the Christian or anyone wanting to know more about Christianity. –Lute Olson, University of Arizona’s Basketball Hall of Fame coach
