Add to basketPaperback. Small Faith. Big Savior. Faith of a Mustard Seed is a sixteen-chapter devotional on the smallest faith Jesus ever asked us to bring - and the One who makes it enough. Most Christian books on faith ask the reader to do more, believe harder, or feel stronger. This one does the opposite. Drawing on Scripture and the recovered Gospel of the Reformation, Kairo Shepherd walks slowly through what faith actually is, where it comes from, why it sometimes feels as if it isn't there at all, and what to do when you are sure it has died. The book opens by defining faith not as a feeling or a force but as the empty hand God fills. From there it walks through the four places Christ has promised to meet His people - the Word, Holy Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the spoken absolution by which the first three reach the conscience personally, by name, today. These are not the advanced chapters of the Christian life, the book argues. They are the rescue. The middle chapters move through what it means to believe, what to do when faith feels small, how to ask for more, and the great Reformation distinction between Law and Gospel - the two voices in which God speaks, and the catastrophe of confusing them. Repentance is then treated not as a one-time crisis but as a daily return; grace not as a reward for the strong but as the gift of God to the weak; the cross of Christ as the heart of the Christian life and the receipt of a debt that read paid in full. A chapter on the Lord's Prayer walks slowly through each petition for the reader who barely knows how to pray. A chapter on suffering treats the furnace not as a sign that God has left, but as the soil where the seed grows roots. A chapter on the fruit of faith warns against measuring our salvation by what we produce. The Mustard Tree describes the slow, quiet growth of a Christian life over decades. The Harvest closes with the bodily resurrection and the gathering of every believer who ever clung to Christ. A final short chapter - "What If I Still Don't Feel It?" - speaks directly to the reader who finishes the book and feels nothing. It names every honest doubt the believer carries home from a Sunday service: what if I keep sinning, what if I don't feel changed, what if I am reading this and still scared. Each chapter ends with a brief reflection and a short prayer. The voice throughout is the voice of a layman writing to ordinary believers - without lecture, without polish, without performance. It is faithful to the historic Christian confession that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone. It is not little faith that saves you. It is Christ. That is the whole argument of this book. From the author of Grace: Clearance Granted. This item is printed on demand.
