As a Christian do you find your biblical ideals increasingly becoming out of sync with everyday reality? Or do you find yourself defeated before the day has begun? Author Carolyn Boyce, in this intriguing study on the soul, clearly presents what every believer should understand in order to effectively cope with and over come the challenges of the age.By exploring the soul, you will learn how to recognize common areas of struggle which originate in the heart, mind or will. You will also analyze the lives of biblical characters in terms of the strengths or weaknesses evident in their soul. Through the use of case studies and colourful diagrams, abstract concepts can be easily grasped and incorporated into everyday Christian living.
