'God wants people to become like Christ,' said international preacher, writer and teacher John Stott in a public address at the end of his long life.
Peter Lewis is similarly passionate about the Bible's message - that God has a plan which centres on Jesus and includes each one of us.
In this accessible and helpful book, he focuses on the:
source of Christlikeness
model of Christlikenesshelps to Christlikeness
contradictions of Christlikeness an
dtriumph of Christlikeness
Here, the reader who wants to become like Christ will find radical - sometimes challenging - teaching, practical wisdom and warm reassurance.
