A Foot in Two Worlds
Description
But the Christian life can also be genuinely hard. Sickness and suffering still come our way. Sinful habits from the past still dog our steps. Sometimes it feels like an endless grind.
Why is this? Is it meant to be this way? Is there any solution?
In this masterful little book, John Chapman answers these pressing questions by drawing on his profound knowledge of the Bible, and his 60 years experience living as a Christian.

Encouragement to press on with living for Christ
The title expresses the central message of this very readable book - that normal Christian living includes the enjoyment of our heavenly citizenship alongside the difficulties of living in a fallen world.
John Chapman considers why this is so, outlines what is means for our lives as Christians, and explains how we can cope with the tension of straddling two domains.This is light-touch doctrine with biblically grounded practical wisdom.
I wondered for whom the book was intended. Certainly it would be valuable for any newish Christian (perhaps late-teens or twenties). The study questions would be useful for five sessions of discussion. But the book speaks practically to any stage of the Christian life. It offers us all challenge and warm encouragement to press on toward the world to come. ![]()
