He explores the discovery that once accompanied finding books, and books finding us. He ponders the smell of an old volume, its heft, and why bibliophiles carry them around even without reading them. He demonstrates how and why there is magic and enchantment that takes place between people and books.

Life is complicated. Faith isn't. Or it shouldn't be. But in the past and today, religious leaders have overcomplicated what Jesus and the Bible have made simple. Jesus taught one overarching principle backed by simple, practical applications for everyday life. The way of Jesus is simple enough for a child to understand and deep enough to learn for a lifetime. Whether you are new to the faith or are hoping to refresh a faith grown stale, Simply Following Jesus is your guide to a straightforward, action-oriented experience of Christianity.

With practical teaching and relatable storytelling, Faith Simplified unpacks the faith-defining truths of Christianity and their profound bearing on how you live each day. Addressing the curious, the questioning, and the committed alike, author Aaron Armstrong draws on biblical knowledge and centuries of Christian theology to cast light on the faith's potential to powerfully affect your life.
