There ae those who would have us believe that all we have to do is utter a prayer, sit back - and wait for God to pour out the blessing upon us. Many times folks would have us belive that our prayer must be accompanied by a check to them in order for the blessings to flow. The Bible does not teach any such thing.
The blessings of Christianity are numerous. God however is not Santa Claus; we have no guarantees of wealth, health, a good job or any other worldly item.
Satan loves to use false hope (from untrue beliefs) as a tool to damage our belief in God. This book is a realistic look at what the Bible actually says about everyday life. It is a handbook of Christian life - based and backed 100% with scripture.

Fairytale Christianity: Living as a Christian in the REAL world
Chapter One
I'm a Christian - (So What?)
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior (and by the way - what the heck does than even mean? We will discuss that in a bit), it is a huge step. Even if it means nothing else, it means that you are now on your way to heaven. It means you have escaped the horrors of an eternity away from God. If there were no other reason to accept the free gift of salvation - escaping hell would be enough. The truth of the matter though is that there are other benefits to Christianity, and that is the very first thing we are going to discuss.
Parachutes
When I joined the Army, I wanted to jump out of airplanes. In order to do this I had to go to Army jump school. Jump school is three weeks long. Week one is called ground week. Most of that week is spent running, doing chin ups, push ups and being harassed. Most folks that quit, quit in the first week. There are certain things that the Army hammers into you starting with that first week. One of them is the fact that the parachute will open. The Jumpmaster repeats that phrase to the students over and over. He wants them to have enough faith in the parachute so that when the time comes for them to jump - they will jump.
The second week of jump school is called tower week. During tower week we jumped out of towers and slid down a long zip line cable that we were hooked to. It was kind of fun, and all during tower week the instructors kept reassuring us that our parachutes were state of the art, and that when we finally did jump from a plane, the parachute would open.
