Is Christianity something you just believe in, or can it be something you actually live out? In this compelling narrative, James Choung explores what it means to follow Jesus in the real world. Engineer Stephen wants to encourage his younger colleague Jared in his spiritual journey, but both feel at a loss.

Together they walk through deepening stages of faith as they discern how God is calling them to live.
Join Stephen, Bridget and Jared on their journey of following Jesus, as they discover what it means to move from skeptic to world-changer. And find new pathways for Christian discipleship and disciplemaking in a world yearning for hope.
True Story: A Christianity Worth Believing In
InterVarsity Press, 2008
“Brilliant. . . . Tools like this can change the world.” — Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life
Caleb has been a Christian for a long time. But he can’t bring himself to share his faith with anyone because it doesn’t sound like good news anymore. Christianity’s claims come across as hallow, arrogant, and intolerant. Worst of all, it feels like Christianity is just about “saving souls,” giving people an escape ticket to heaven while the world falls apart. There must be more to it than that …
In this engaging narrative, James Choung weaves the tale of a search for a Christianity worth believing in. Disillusioned believer Caleb and hostile skeptic Anna wrestle with the plausibility of the Christian story in a world of pain and suffering. They ask each other tough questions about what Jesus really came to do and what Christianity is supposed to be about. Along the way, they discover that real Christianity is far bigger than anything they ever heard about in church. And the conversion that comes is not one that either of them expects.
Join Caleb and Anna on their spiritual journeys as they probe Christianity from both inside and out. And discover a new way of understanding and explaining the Christian faith that really matters in a broken world.
