Product Description
Radical Pursuit: A Young Adult's Guide to Following Jesus is an assembly of related essays that covers a range of important topics regarding the Christian faith, from a young adult's perspective. This book aims to answer questions about who God is, what it really means to be saved, how to live out Christian principles in a world filled with competing interests, and addresses other topics that may concern a 21st century young adult in regard to Christianity. It is an easy-to-read, practical, and relevant account of the Way of Jesus written by spiritual leaders and scholars. The main goal of this collection of essays is to invite a seeker into the Way of Jesus, and help such a seeker or unchurched young adult connect with Jesus. However, young adults who are already followers of Jesus will find joy and clarity in reading these spiritual essays.
