Author Description

"This lighthearted, humorous look at the UCC is for all 'UCCers,' but youth, teens, and anyone who wants to learn more about the denomination will find the book particularly appealing. The handbook uses the same format as the other handbooks in the popular denominational series, and is divided into the following sections: Church stuff: essential facts about Christianity, practical advice for churchgoers, and hints for enjoying worship; Everyday stuff: guidance for helping others, tips on forgiveness and respect, and suggestions for avoiding temptation; Bible stuff: the when, where, and why of the Bible; tips for reading and comprehension; and summaries of some of its most outrageous stories. Accessible charts, maps, and diagrams are interspersed throughout the content, offering perspectives and frames of reference for the historical and theological elements." --
