“Give us this day our daily bread…” These words from the Lord’s Prayer are beautiful and inspiring, but truly following them can lead to a terrifying place in our spiritual journey—the place of absolute dependence on God.

Just ask the Israelites. Living on manna in the desert had to be scary. They couldn’t gather more than they needed or save any of it for later. Their bread was supplied one day at a time. Every morning they had to trust that God had provided what He promised—the exact amount of manna needed for that day’s survival. Can you imagine? Every day their lives depended on a miracle from God.
It s this kind of daily dependence that transforms wandering believers into great people of God.

This inspiring book calls you to follow in the footsteps of the Israelites and allow God to take you to the terrifying, yet transformational, place of absolute dependence on Him. Instead of simply observing and being entertained by God’s miracles, you will be challenged to let go of your fears and doubts of living on manna and, like the Israelites, develop a level of trust with God that allows Him to use you in ways He was never able to before.

New believers often have a lot of questions about their faith. They need help understanding the fundamental truths that lead to a solid foundation in Christ. Even seasoned believers sometimes need help fostering growth in their relationship with God.

So This Is Faith is a compelling resource that guides believers through their journey of faith to a deeper understanding of God and a more balanced, authentic relationship with Him. Designed to build on the basic questions of faith and then move to a deeper understanding of what it means to live as a Christian, So This Is Faith can be used for group or individual study. The beginning chapters explain the foundational truths of the Bible and explore who God is and the relationship He intended us to have with Him. Later chapters discuss the role Christ plays in reconnecting us to God and show how we can move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him. The book concludes by looking at the ways God chooses to restore His image in us.

Through the use of scriptures, questions, illustrations, and insights, So This Is Faith illuminates what a truly blessed life looks like and disciples believers as they grow and flourish in their faith.
