Christianity is the world's largest religious faith with 1.5 billion adherents around the globe. That's more than one out of every four people alive today. The birth of Jesus was so monumental that it split our reckoning of history into two parts: Everything that has happened on our planet took place "before Christ" or "after Christ." As author Philip Yancey has observed, "You can gauge the size of a ship that has passed out of sight by the huge wake it leaves behind."
So how do you explore Christianity as a seeker? Many people begin with a good book that will serve as something of a tour guide. One that we highly recommend is by Jim White, titled "A Search for the Spiritual: Exploring Real Christianity." You can pick up a copy (or order one) through any bookstore or at Amazon.com. This book not only attempts to explain the Christian faith, but also tries to address the questions and concerns of seekers head-on. But this book is only a resource - it shouldn't be the search itself. So let us suggest some other investments that might serve. These suggestions are not designed to manipulate you toward the Christian faith but simply to help you check it out for yourself. Mouse over the below links for additional exploration!
