In his remark, the author of the book, Oluwaseyi said the book was written to establish the characteristics of a Christian in contemporary life, adding that the Bible was clear about the lifestyle of Christians.
 “Portraits of Christian Life explores different examples and illustrations used in the scriptures to describe a Christian, his lifestyle and how it applies to our lives in contemporary times
 He added, “The Lord Jesus did not leave us in darkness as He used several analogies like light, sheep and steward to illustrate the life of a Christian.
“Also, Paul, by divine inspiration, used analogies like strangers, pilgrim, soldiers and ambassador to describe the lifestyle of a Christian,” he said.
The author called on Christians to be steadfast and acknowledge their role as the light of the word.
