Dear Dr Graham guidance on finding Christianity across denominations
A letter explains that despite many denominations Christians share basic truths. Start with a modern Bible translation, read the Gospel of John to learn Jesus is God’s Son who died for sins and rose. Pray for understanding and open your heart to Christ, then join a church to study the Bible with others. God loves all nations.
