# Contend

Philip Anthony Mitchell's *Contend* starts from a conviction he insists on: that following Christ was never meant to be a matter of passive belief. Published by Thomas Nelson in 2026, the book takes this as its starting point and calls for a faith that is active rather than merely held. Its argument concerns what Christians do with what they believe, and the author sets out that case in plain terms.

The book is written for Christians who suspect their faith asks more of them than quiet assent. It suits readers who are ready to hear that challenge put to them directly, and who want a discussion of discipleship that asks them to live out their convictions rather than simply affirm them.
