How does God speak? What's so significant about Jesus being both human and divine? Who is the Holy Spirit? Whether you're just exploring Christianity or a veteran believer, Harris will help you unearth the timeless truths of Scripture; discover that theology isn't just for scholars; and deepen your relationship with Christ.
In Dug Down Deep, Joshua Harris gets down to the basics -he shows how important it is to know what we believe, and why. He addressed the issue of growing up in the church and not really having our own beliefs or doctrine, but simply going along on tradition and what our church and parents believed - which isn't necessarily bad, but he points out that we all need to get to the point that it is what we believe, not just something we grew into.
The book has a great message that we all need to hear, and he writes in an easy-to-read style. I recommend it for anyone wanting to explore their faith and what to believe.
About the author:
Joshua Harris is senior pastor of Covenant Life in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which belongs to the Sovereign Grace network of local churches. A passionate speaker with a gift for making theological truth easy to understand, Joshua is perhaps best known for his runaway bestseller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, which he wrote at the age of twenty-one. His later books include Boy Meets Girl, Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is), and Stop Dating the Church. The founder of the NEXT conferences for young adults, Joshua is committed to seeing the gospel transferred to a new generation of Christians. He and his wife, Shannon, have three children.

This sounds really good. I enjoyed his Kiss Dating Goodbye and I am sure I would enjoy this as well.
