The Christian Life: Its Course, Its Hindrances, and Its Helps

"The Christian Life: Its Course, Its Hindrances, and Its Helps" by Thomas Arnold is a study that tackles the intricacies of living a Christian life, looking at the path believers take, the problems they meet, and what helps them grow spiritually. The book starts by talking about how important it is to understand what it means to be human after the Fall, as told in Genesis. Arnold thinks people are morally messed up, like being stuck in a dangerous wild place and though this is bad, it is also a chance to become more like God by believing in His promises and to get through life's dangers by getting rid of sins and trying to be good, seeing bravery as key to Christians finding salvation.
