Profound and concise. Williams shares his insights into four key aspects of the Christian life: baptism, the Bible, the Eucharist, and prayer. I wanted to mark this one up, mull over sentences, and reflect on the text further; this is definitely a book that is worth being read twice.

Wonderful short book looking at four core Christian practices and how they, when taken seriously, faithfully, can open us up to Christ, community, and the world.

A lot of depth is offered in this concise primer on 'Being Christian'. Great for small groups or those entering into a structured spiritual formation practice.

I can't say how it is as a book-I spread it out too far for that-but as a small group discussion guide it's great.

Williams writes with such beautiful clarity and simplicity. This is a quick and easy read, but it's also full of such depth that I would occasionally read a single sentence and then sit in silence for minutes at a time contemplating it. Perhaps most amazingly, Williams makes Christianity sound beautiful. I bought this book to see whether it would be helpful for teenagers and adults being baptised and confirmed, and it's definitely suitable for that.

A short but thoughtful examination of the essentials of Christian life. This is a book I will return to many times, I suspect.
