WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

“I've been hearing these concepts since boyhood, but it wasn't until I spent 2 hours with this book that I really understood what they meant. I am richer for it.”

-Brad C., Wheaton, IL



“I just have to tell you that I am reading the Kindle edition of What We Believe and Why. The section I just finished, on being born into the Kingdom, is just stunning. I cannot thank you enough for writing. I wish I knew you personally, just to tell you face-to-face.”

-Craig W., Raleigh, NC



A very DIFFERENT Christian book: Insightful, accessible, plain-spoken....and just a little feisty. In this sweeping look at the Christian faith, Dr. George Koch lays out the foundation of what we believe and why we believe it. This in-depth exploration of topics important to every Christian—salvation, sanctification, prayer, loving God, baptism, heresy, communion, worship, and more—contains something for both the veteran theologian and the new believer. From connecting the covenants of Abraham, Moses, and Christ to exploring what life in Christ truly means, What We Believe and Why offers a solid foundation for the Christian faith, accessible to all readers.

In this journey, Dr. Koch, while acknowledging the importance of doctrine, isn't afraid to ask what really matters in the end. With this question in mind, the book delivers a convicting call to developing a deeper love for God, neighbor, and enemy, moving beyond the denominational struggles and doctrinal wars of modern Christianity.

The journey of this book is a challenging one, but can help Christians learn to refocus on the love of God, neighbor, and enemy that Jesus taught, rather than differences over our finite concepts about God and the Church. The true purpose of the Christian life is not merely to know more about God, but to know God more.
