Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever struggle with doubt? Do you sometimes think everyone around you has more faith than you do? Do you have a hard time trusting the goodness of God when you're going through difficult circumstances? Is it hard for you to admit these things to yourself, much less to God or anyone else? Been there...I went through a season marked by depression and doubt. Then one day, out of nothing more than desperation, I began to wonder what might happen if I could just believe, really believe, everything the Bible says. Would it have any effect on my life? Could it possibly help? So I did the only thing that seemed natural to me: I made a deal with God. I would choose to believe with my whole heart for forty days. Ultimately, I was giving God one last chance. I had no expectations; it just seemed only fair that before I gave up on him completely to give him a fair shot.That's my challenge to you! I dare you to give God his fair shot! This book is challenging you to give God forty days of believing every single truth of the Bible with your whole heart. I dare you to commit to believing everything the Bible says about who God is and who you are as a believer in Christ. Make a decision to let go of every thought and belief that contradicts what the Bible says about God and especially about how God sees you if you are his child. Ask God to meet you there! Ask him to help you learn to live by his ultimate truth, and let it change you from the inside out. Let it set you free! You may be surprised at what he does!

Download or read book Journey to Faith written by Doug Hammer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over forty days and forty nights, Doug brings us alongside him as he relives the extreme highs and lows spiritually as he desperately reaches out to God as he fasts, knowing that this was to be his last chance to change his life around. For years he had tried everything there was to reach out to God and to find favor in His heart, never realizing that the answer was there all along right in front of him in the perfect words of the Holy Bible. Stripped down to literally nothing but a few worldly possessions, broke, divorced, rejected by his daughter, and standing all alone in a world that cared nothing about him, Doug thought that this was as good as it was going to get. He was to be the world's punching bag for all the winners in life and was resigned to the reality that he was to be the loser everyone else would walk on to get what they wanted. Little did he realize that in all the hurt, frustration, and hopelessness, God was forcing him to take the only road left to him--fasting. God's thundering velvet hand was rebuilding him on His terms to be the spiritual warrior that he was always meant to be, and whether Doug liked it or not, God was going to reach into his heart and pull him into a relationship that fifty-seven years of suffering and hurt could never stand up to. God locked onto Doug, and no matter how hard Satan attacked or Doug felt beaten, God was there to pick him up and brush him off like a loving father with an unconditional love only a dad could give to his son. In all of his desperate pleas to God for help, Doug was being held at arm's length by God, until he realized that what his Father in heaven was demanding of him was not perfection but a relationship built on love and faith. God's hand was now locked on to Doug, and as painful as life was in every facet of his being, it was now as clear as the words of the Bible, God had Doug right where He wanted him and there would be no more yesterdays of pain and failure but now a life drawn deep into God's heart, and there's no looking back!

Book excerpt: **Purchase includes a free online course on faith*** What do you do when the faith you’ve always known no longer makes sense? That’s the haunting, confusing, unexpected question confronting twentysomething Peter Daniel Young after a friend doubts whether Christianity makes sense of life and has anything to offer. More troublesome yet: the right Christian answers Peter was trained to give since childhood are for questions no one is even asking—including his friend, and even himself. Which leaves him questioning what he’s always believed — leading to a crisis of faith the likes of which he has never before experienced. While not abandoning his childhood faith, Peter launches into a journey of exploration and discovery, reimagining faith for his world and questioning what the essence of the Christian message is in the first place. Along the way, he is confronted by rising doubts, encouraged by friends new and old, questioned by those close to him, and challenged to own his faith for himself. What he discovers is all at once terrifying and thrilling — for this story is the drama of his faith’s death and rebirth. Written in the self-discovery style of John Green’s coming of age stories, with shades of such classics as C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity and John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, J. A. Bouma’s tale is the first story in a fresh, insightful spiritual coming of age series for a new generation wondering if the Christianity they’ve always known still matters in these dynamic times — and whether there might be something more to help make sense of life. Drawing from his own spiritual journey as a young adult, Bouma writes a stirring fable of resonance and truth for those wrestling with deep questions of faith, life, and everything in between. Whether you are facing your own crisis of faith and wondering whether Christianity still matters, or you know someone who is struggling themselves, discover along with Peter what the Christian message means for him, his family and friends, his life in the Church — and for you.

Download or read book How s Your Faith written by David Gregory and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Join former NBC newsman and Meet the Press moderator David Gregory as he probes various religious traditions to better understand his own faith and answer life's most important questions: who do we want to be and what do we believe? While David was covering the White House, he had the unusual experience of being asked by President George W. Bush "How's your faith?" David's answer was just emerging. Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish dad, he had a strong sense of Jewish cultural and ethnic identity, but no real belief--until his marriage to a Protestant woman of strong faith inspired him to explore his spirituality for himself and his growing family. David's journey has taken him inside Christian mega-churches and into the heart of Orthodox Judaism. He's gone deep into Bible study and asked tough questions of America's most thoughtful religious leaders, including evangelical preacher Joel Osteen and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Catholic Archbishop of New York. It has brought him back to his childhood, where belief in God might have helped him through his mother's struggle with alcoholism, and through a difficult period of public scrutiny and his departure from NBC News, which saw his faith tested like never before. David approaches his faith with the curiosity and dedication you would expect from a journalist accustomed to holding politicians and Presidents accountable. But he also comes as a seeker, one just discovering why spiritual journeys are always worthwhile"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It may seem as if the concept of faith has become a line in the sand: you either have it or you don’t; that you are either certain or you are lost. But as author Kyle Cupp has learned, we can have an uncertain faith while still being confident in and committed to our belief in God. He shares the pressing questions and winding path to understanding in Living by Faith, Dwelling in Doubt. Pushed off a spiritual precipice after the death of his daughter only a few shorts hours after her birth, Cupp shares his ongoing spiritual journey—from the certainty of truth during his college years, through the shaken faith that can come with lived experience, to the burgeoning confidence that it takes to live somewhere in between. Cupp reconciles his doubts about faith and religion and reaches a place where he is confident that faith and uncertainty can exist side by side. It is the belief in the mystery that is faith and the awesome power of boundless love that makes the winding path of faith passable.
Download or read book Going on Faith written by William Zinsser and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this deeply felt book, nine American writers and thinkers from different points of the religious compass discuss how their work is nourished by spiritual concerns. Diana Ackerman explains why she calls herself a messenger of wonder and how, in her observations of the natural world, there is a form of beholding that is a kind of prayer. David Bradley recalls how his inheritance as the son, grandson and great-grandson of black preachers has enabled him, at considerable pain, to be touched by the word. Frederick Buechner makes an intensely personal journey to his roots as a novelist: In fiction, as in faith, something outside ourselves is breathed into us if we're open enough to inhale it. Allen Ginsberg describes how his poetry is grounded in the Buddhist idea of renunciation of hand-me-down conceptions and the meditative practice of letting go of thoughts. Mary Gordon retraces an odyssey in which the religious beliefs and forms of a Catholic girlhood turned out to be as useful as a wiretap to the grown-up novelist. Patricia Hampl describes how the writing of Virgin Time took her on a series of pilgrimages to explore the contemplative life. Hillel Levine tells of his search for the mystery of goodness, exemplified by a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania who saved thousands of Jews on the eve of World War II. Hugh Nissenson explains how his work as a Jewish writer has been animated by a sense of the holy and shaped by the poetry, drama and narrative of the King James Bible. Jaroslav Pelikan revisits three religious writers--Augustine, Newman, and Boethius--whose influence on other religious writers over the centuries has never gone out of fashion. Together, as William Zinsser notes in his introduction, these writers are on a pilgrimage to find the source of their faith as individuals and their strength as artists.

Download or read book Rescuing Jesus written by Deborah Jian Lee and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at the young, diverse, and progressive Christians who are transforming the evangelical movement Deborah Jian Lee left the evangelical world because she was frustrated by its conservative politics. But over the years, she noticed how evangelical culture and politics were changing—and moving in a more progressive direction. What Lee came to find is that most of what we think we know about evangelicals is wrong, or is well on its way to becoming dated. In Rescuing Jesus, she ventures into the world of progressive evangelicalism, telling the stories of those at the forefront of a movement that could change the face and the substance of religion in the United States. These men and women are a young and diverse array of people—LGBTQ and straight; white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous—who are working to wrest political power away from conservatives. These young evangelicals are more likely than their elders to accept same-sex marriage, more inclined to think of “pro-life” issues as being about supporting society’s disenfranchised, and more accepting of equality between men and women. With empathy, journalistic rigor, and powerful storytelling, Lee unpacks the diverse and complex strands of this movement—and what it means for the rest of us. Given the clout that evangelicals still hold in national politics, Lee argues, this movement is important not only for the future of evangelicalism but also for the future of our country.
