About this ebook
In About You, Dick Staub addresses irreligious, religious, spiritual seekers and all kinds of Christians and shows us that Jesus came to satisfy our universal longing for a fully human life, not to establish a narrow us versus them religion. In short, Jesus didn't come to make us Christian; Jesus came to make us fully human. In a fresh exploration of the ancient Biblical stories of creation, fall and redemption, Staub explains that salvation is not about going to heaven when we die; it is about a full and abundant life now. In practical, down-to-earth, language, About You deals with this concept on three levels: anthropologically (our common story and universal human needs), theologically (God’s awareness and response to our needs), and practically (how we can attain and maintain a more complete and satisfying life).
Staub's previous book (The Culturally Savvy Christian) was selected by Kirkus Reviews for their 2007 Religion and Spirituality edition. This new book is designed to help those who are seeking a way to integrate both a fully alive spirituality and a fully alive humanity—a way that is embodied in the often-misunderstood life and teaching of Jesus Christ. This groundbreaking book illuminates the path towards becoming the best version of yourself.

New to the Christian faith? Want to get the larger picture on what it means to be a healthy Christian? Need to better understand how to satisfy the deep soul longing within you? This book may have been written just for you.
Dick Staub presents the Christian life in the beauty God designed it to be. He offers a freshingly holistic Christian worldview, pulling in quotes from a variety of well known and respected Christian authors to underscore his rendering of life in the Spirit.
God knows you. God has a plan for your life right now. He is, if you are willing to listen, encouraging you to discover and become fully allive in Him
Hopefully, if you are a mature Christian, you will not find anything particularly new in this volume. The quotations will be familiar. You won't bump into anything particularly edgy or heretical. Yet Dick eloquently reminds even experienced disciples that our God is a real God - a loving, Creator God - with something fresh and awe-inspiring planted for us in each and every day.
