About

What does Christianity have to do with ordinary live? Is there a biblical perspective on our work or recreation or whatever we do? If so, how can we gain that perspective?

Many people seek to have a biblical view of life, yet fail to apply that biblical mindset, or worldview, to all parts of their lives. Ryken reveals the basis of the Christian worldview and describes how it affects one's view of God, creation, the family, work, the arts, and other issues.

Basics of the Faith booklets introduce readers to basic Reformed doctrine and practice. On issues of church government and practice they reflect that framework—otherwise they are suitable for all church situations.

Endorsements

“By sticking close to what the great biblical themes of creation, fall, redemption, and glory mean—but also imply—Philip Ryken has written a masterful primer. It offers excellent orientation for inquiries that could, with profit, extend for a lifetime.”

—Mark Noll
