Product Details for Authentic Faith
This book provides an inspiring, positive approach to what some call the negative truths of Scripture and presents a timeless but contemporary look at faith’s real attributes of sacrifice, selfless love, and discipleship at a time when society, and even the Christian community, is focused on blessing and comfort.

Description:
Fortify your commitment to Christ by examining ten “authentic” disciplines God uses to forge a fire-tested faith.

What if the spiritual disciplines that bring us closer to God are not the ones we control? Bestselling author Gary Thomas reveals the rich benefits that derive from embracing the harder truths of Scripture. With penetrating insight from Scripture and the Christian classics, along with colorful and engaging stories, 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.
