What there is to it for becoming Christians is usually the most common topic in the majority of Christian books along with all the fields of studies that Christianity and Christian doctrines cover.
Well-written Christian books, poems, articles, and selections have tremendous effects on one's personality and may lead to great changes in a person's points of view. These are powerful instruments for spiritual growth for the person reading them.
Christianity is primarily defined as belief on a Supreme Being, specifically Jesus Christ as humanity's savior. Christians on the other hand, are people who have personal relationship with God. This same relationship has become the greater focus in producing Christian writings.

God is the Supreme Writer of history and the little gods (or the Christians) are the writers of their personal stories with God as the central character.
