Product Description:
2000 GOLD MEDALLION WINNERIn an era laced with worry about the present and cynicism about the future . . . In a climate in which we've grown tired of hoping for miracles and wary of trumped-up claims . . . Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle reminds us that God is as powerful and active as ever, and ready to respond to faith wherever he finds it. But what is faith - real faith that unlocks the resources of heaven? Pastor Cymbala insists that it is far more than mental assent to some core beliefs. We can't wield it like a magic formula by believing hard and long enough to get what we want. Neither can we struggle our way to faith by obeying a set of rules and laws. Instead, writes Cymbala, "Real faith is produced when our hearts draw near to God himself and receive his promises deep within us." Authentic, biblical faith is simple, honest, and utterly dependent upon God, a faith capable of transforming our lives, our churches, and the nation itself Jim Cymbala calls us back to fresh faith - to a fiery, passionate preoccupation with God that will restore what the enemy has stolen from us: * Our first love for Jesus * Our zeal * Our troubled children * Our wounded marriages * Our broken and divided churches Born out of the heart and soul of The Brooklyn Tabernacle, the message of Fresh Faith is illustrated by true stories of men and women whose lives have been changed through the power of faith. The same faith that can transform your life - starting today, if you choose.
