In a fresh and readable style, Vaughan Roberts, issues a challenging call to Christians to live out their faith. We should be different from the world around us.

Targeting difficult but crucial areas such as our attitude to money and possessions, sexuality, contentment, relativism and service, this teaching is holiness in the tradition of J.C Ryle for the contemporary generation. Roberts helps us to consider how we are to respond biblically to the temptations and pitfalls surrounding us—giving what we cannot keep to gain what we cannot lose.

This little book is helpful in many ways. Roberts gets to the heart of the matter in a very practical style that deals with everyday issues within the life of believers. If the world thinks one way, the people of God are often called to think another. We are to be different, and Roberts helps the reader see the essential difference of walking by the Spirit as believers in Christ. READ THIS BOOK.
