The Whole Christian: The search for the sum of your parts by Bruce Larson

Christian Living / Personal Growth

What does it mean to be whole-happy, function-ing, fulfilled, all you were meant to be?

In The Whole Christian, Bruce Larson draws on insights gained from some of today's pioneer thinkers in a variety of disciplines, and he puts together a unique picture of what it means to be a whole person from a Christian and a biblical perspective. Here is a workbook for the practicing Christian, a guide for learning how to: • deal with change

•   make a friend of your body • choose a creative environment for personal growth • develop a strategy for making your dreams come true • handle fear, failure, and death
•   put faith into action, and belief into everyday life.
