Are you one of those people who have accepted Christ as your Saviour but remain somewhat confused by the feeling that nothing seems to have changed? Or do you long for those feelings of joy and relief that were yours in the time immediately following your conversion? Sometimes we just seem ignorant about how Christians are supposed to feel day to day. With helpful study questions this book will help you grasp something of the scale of what happens to those who turn to Christ, and allow you to find real assurance, a gift that for so many of us can be so elusive.
