CHRISTIANITY FOR DUMMIES
By Richard Wagner
Wiley Publishing. 378 pages. £14.99
ISBN 0 7645 4482 9

Recently I was browsing in Waterstones and came across Christianity for Dummies. I leafed through it, fearing the worst, but was delighted to find a straightforward presentation of gospel Christianity.

Richard Wagner is an American (no sniggering please), son of a pastor, church leader, author, and the publisher of a web-based Christian discipleship magazine. This book comes in the standard format of the well-known 'Dummies' series, complete with the yellow cover, the cheat sheet, the familiar icons (technical stuff, tip, warning, etc.), and some very enjoyable and perceptive Rich Tennant cartoons.
