Authentic Faith: The Power of a Fire-Tested Life

Cultivating resilient, reflective, authentic Christian faith.

"Authentic Faith" is a compelling read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Christian spirituality beyond the superficial. Gary Thomas masterfully articulates how true faith is often formed and strengthened through adversity and the practice of disciplines that challenge our comfort. It's a guide that steers the spiritual journey toward a more meaningful engagement with God and one's own beliefs. If you're feeling the need for a faith that doesn't waver at the sight of life's fires but instead is hardened and honed by them, this book offers the perspective and encouragement necessary to embrace such a path.

Description

The faith God calls us to is far more than glowing positivism that shields us from life's struggles. It is one that guides us into a deepening intimacy with the God who sustains us in the broad sweep of life. Bestselling author Gary Thomas helps us sharpen our spiritual vision and fortify our commitment to Christ by examining ten disciplines God uses to forge a fire-tested faith. A biblical view of these disciplines can safeguard us from disillusionment when - not if - difficulties surface in our lives. Sharing scriptural insights, the wisdom of Christians through the centuries, and cogent personal observations, Thomas explores the disciplines of: selflessness, waiting, suffering, persecution, social mercy, forgiveness, mourning, contentment, sacrifice, hope and fear. As Thomas reminds us, faith is about something other than a smooth ride through this fallen world. Rather, authentic faith is shaped, tempered, and purified in the flames of struggle. This eye-opening look at what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus will encourage you, bolster your faith, and help you rise above shallow attachments to fix your heart on things of eternal worth.
