This book presents a psychological explanation of the gospel. It deals with the nine basic human needs that salvation fills. Believing that we have acceptance, love, and value gives us peace and contentment: "We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:1). Believing that we have security, forgiveness, and guidance gives us assurance and confidence: "All things can be done for the one who believes" (Mark 9:23). Believing that we have support, purpose, and hope gives us meaning and significance: "We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul" (Heb 6:19). People today want more than creeds and platitudes. Discovering that there are logical reasons for the positive changes that take place when we become a Christian helps us understand how and why a conversion experience makes such a real difference in our lives.
