"An illuminating guide for Christian living based on a compelling reading of the Bible. In his intricate book, Adams tries to answer a basic but compelling question for Christians: How can Christians act on their faith? Or, put another way: What must Christians do? The author's thesis-that intangible biblical notions like belief and trust can and should be translated into actionable practices-is a simple but valuable message for the religious...The author, educated at Princeton, has a knack for clearly explaining difficult theological principles, and though his prose demands careful attention, such attention delivers real insight. Further, his reading of the Bible-though traditional-is both sensitive and comprehensive. For Adams, Christian scripture is a unified story, and he handles the text like a veteran exegete. A penetrating and pragmatic interpretation of scripture." - Kirkus Discoveries

Faith is as real as heat or gravity. We are all born with it. We all use it, especially when we are not conscious of it. It becomes a problem when we make a conscious effort to use it. Most people try to get hold of it from a religious base. This is also a problem because most of the religious teachings or definitions make it seem like it is something that is abstract, not tangible. A lot of work has been done in Christian circles to help people deal with this very important principle of life. But it has never been enough. This small book is meant to simplify your understanding of "faith" so as to make it easier and more ready to use. One does not have to be religious to practice faith. If heat is real, one does not have to be a scientist to appreciate it. So also is faith and religion. Put religion aside and read this book with an open mind and see how it will make you feel.
