Faith Simplified

In Faith Simplified, Aaron Armstrong explains what we believe and why we believe it.

A Friendly Tour

This book takes you on a tour of Christian doctrine. Armstrong writes in simple and straightforward language without watering down the truth.

The chapters are similar to what you would find in a systematic theology: God Is (attributes of God), God Speaks (the Bible), and God Reigns (eschatology) are some examples. But Armstrong writes in a way that feels like a friend simply talking to you about his faith.

Providence and the Incarnation

I was most pleased to read about God’s providence—a somewhat difficult doctrine made clear as Armstrong explains how God’s plans for the world go forward through the actions and choices of human beings. I marveled at the fact that God is actively engaged in every moment.

Surprisingly, I was satisfied to read Armstrong’s honesty in embracing the mystery of the incarnation. It is a strange thing! But it is beautiful and good news for those who believe it. Armstrong does not encourage blind faith—but rather giving time to fall in love with God.

Strengthen Your Belief

This book is for those who are curious about Christianity. It is for new believers who want to jump-start their journey with Jesus. It is for seasoned saints who want to gain some fresh perspective on timeless truths.

Faith Simplified does not mean walking away with a weaker faith. Instead, it will strengthen you as you set your gaze upon the glory of God.
