Synopsis

Faith is trust. It is a confidence in the power and goodness of God that leads us to make good decisions and allows us to surrender our lives to Him. Hebrews 6:12 says that we are to be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” One of the best ways to grow in faith is to imitate the lives of people who have shown great faith. Hebrews 11 guides us through the lives of men and women like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, David and others who have done just that. Real people with real lives and real problems, who had faith in a great God and trusted Him at pivotal moments in their lives. By drawing on some of the greatest lives of faith in the Bible, readers will come to see that God was worthy of these men’s and women’s trust and faith during biblical times in the same way that He is worthy of ours today. This new edition ofBig God includes a study guide for deeper reflection and personal application.

From the Back Cover

Faith is trust. It is confidence in the power and goodness of God. But how can you know that He is trustworthy, that He is big enough to deserve your faith? By seeing how He has shown Himself faithful in the lives of people just like you. The stories of men and women who put their trust in God at critical, pivotal moments of their lives fill the pages of the Bible. These people were not perfect, but when it really mattered, they chose to trust the big God who knew and loved them. And once they did, these men and women of faith found out exactly what happens when God’s people put their faith in Him.
The Bible issues this challenge to anyone who longs for a closer walk with God: “Be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Heb. 6:12). Big God will introduce you to some everyday people who trusted God’s promises and saw those promises fulfilled. By looking at their lives you will see that throughout history God has shown Himself faithful to His promises and His people—time and time again. You will learn that He is worthy of your trust today, and that no matter how overwhelming your problems, heartaches and circumstances appear to be, God is bigger.
