Publisher's Synopsis
What did Jesus's few decades on Earth really accomplish? How can we know right from wrong, truth from untruth? What does the Nicene Creed mean to me, and is reciting it that important?
Did God create the butterfly?
These are just a sampling of the fifteen questions Russell G. Ruffino addresses-and answers-in Riding the Crest of the Waves II, a relevant, easy-to-read guide to understanding the ins and out of the Christian faith, from the everyday to the deeply philosophical.
Though Anglican-Episcopalians will find much to digest in these FAQs, Ruffino's truths cross denominational lines. In refreshingly honest, nonacademic terms, Ruffino buttresses his commentary with reflections on God's relationship with him and what he's learned from his own "bad" life decisions, and he concludes his book with a detailed confession of faith. Far from seeking to satisfy an ecclesiastical body, Ruffino instead pursues faithfulness to the future of the church-the body of believers, a community committed to embracing an identity as the image-bearers of the God of love.
