The Life of Faith, by Dr. Gary W. Fouche': Overview What is faith? Is it possible to acquire more faith? Why is it important to have faith? In this book "The life of faith" the author presents the reader with a wealth of information about biblical faith based on the lives of 16 specific biblical characters who became so popular in biblical discussions and writings that they became known as" the rollcall of faith" and even "the heroes of our faith." The interesting thing about these 16 characters is every one of them had similar problems that we have today. They all had family problems and issues. They each also struggled with sin and disobedience. In this writing we see a common thread. Each individual in the rollcall of faith had an encounter with God or a representative of God and each one had to make a decision based on the instruction from God or God's representative. We see a pattern developing that biblical faith is a progressive faith. By studying these individuals' lives and their struggles; their failures; and their sins we see how very much they are like us. They have different names; different stories and they each had a destiny given them by God that they are so desperately trying to find. All 16 of these individuals discovered their destiny and fulfilled their assignment from God. By studying these people's lives we can learn common obstacles to our life of faith and we can see faith grow. We can see faith develop as a process as these individuals begin to trust God in their lives and demonstrate that they trust God. We also see a process that as they trust God it becomes part of their life process. A life of active belief and trust in God. Is that really possible? Yes As you read this story you will see doubt and despair turned into an active belief and solid trust as the people of God began to discover the purpose of God in their lives and walk it out deliberately. In this book you will discover and learn the same principles that these men and women walked out in their daily lives.
