Are You Really Free?

Richard Armstrong’s Are You Really Free? could not have come out at a more timely moment. For the first time in our history Americans face global terror in our own homeland. For the first time they seriously wonder, can we still be 'the land of the free'? In nineteen short chapters, written in clear, readable English, Dr. Armstrong explains what freedom really is and what Christian faith can do to preserve it. His book is timely, but not written for these times only. It takes the past and the present seriously. It tells stories. It reflects and analyzes. But best of all it holds out hope for real freedom in a world that will not always be free from trouble but will no longer be held captive by fear.Samuel Hugh MoffettProfessor of Ecumenics and Mission EmeritusPrinceton Theological SeminaryRichard Stoll Armstrong is the Ashenfelter Professor Emeritus of Ministry and Evangelism at Princeton Theological Seminary.

In frequent demand as a speaker, preacher, and lecturer, Dr. Armstrong has entertained and inspired audiences, taught and trained pastors, church leaders and church members, and sparked new life in congregations throughout North America and abroad for more than four decades.In Are You Really Free? Dr. Armstrong writes as a believer to other believers who desire to become more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. It is his expressed hope that those who read this book will have a better understanding of and a deeper appreciation for their freedom in Christ and its implications for their daily lives. 3
