Major United Methodist Beliefs

I have read the original issue of this book and am looking forward to the latest. Every Methodist should have one, and every Methodist should understand it's contents. Robert Wysor

For Learning or Teaching

This speaks of the roots, sacramental views, and the general theological foundations of the United Methodist Church. While the author does use theological terminology and "church-ese" in the book, everything is pretty well explained. Stokes suggests it be read individually or in groups and it's great that he includes discussion questions in the back of the book. I actually used this book as a guide to teach my congregation more about what it meant to be a United Methodist Church. This book can easily be adapted for lecture-style teaching and the questions included by the author made for good discussion in small-group and large-group settings. I even had youth asking questions and having discussion with each other and adults about topics throughout this book. It's a good read for anyone who wants to learn about or have a clearer understanding of the United Methodist Church and its beliefs.

A must read for all United Methodist

Gave me a greater understanding in worship and gave me a renewed sense of vitality in my worship experience. Well written and easy to understand
