REAL

The Bible is about today and is real life.  The strange thing is we are not to take it literal but it does contain literal truth.  So there are lots of good self help books but for me the spiritual input is important.  There are a lot of people who claim to be Christians but actually turn people away because of their attitudes and their actions.

In spite of this there is an intriguing and charismatic pull that still seems to attraction the attention of non-believers.  I believe that it is because he was real and he treated each person who came to him with dignity and respect, willing to listen to their needs.  Every one has value.

When questioned Jesus would give direct no nonsense replies.
