Small Faith, Great God

By: N.T. Wright

Narrated by: James Adams

In the midst of life's challenges, so often our faith feels small and weak. In this book one of the world's premier Bible teachers, N. T. Wright, reminds us that what matters is not so much our faith itself as Who our faith is in.

Faith, says Wright, is like a window. The point is not for part of the wall to be made of glass. The point of a window is to allow us to see through it--and let light into the room! Faith allows us to see our situation and our own weakness in light of God who is powerful, holy and loving. Wright also looks at the character of the faith God calls us to. He unfolds how dependence, humility and mystery all have a role to play. God beckons us to lean on him as we seek to be constructive citizens of the world, to speak truth in love without hypocrisy and to risk submitting to one another in love. Wright doesn't ignore the messiness and difficulties of life, when hard times come and the unexpected knocks us down. He opens to us what faith means in times of trial and even in the face of death. Through it all he reminds us, it's not great faith we need: it is faith in a great God.

Excellent as a personal or group study.

I recommend this book for long-time Christians or those new to the faith. N.T. Wright has a way of helping us go deeper no matter where we are.

Consistency of thought

I am pleased to find the bones of Bishop Tom's current thoughts & teaching around Christ Jesus, Heaven & our Triune God present in his early thinking. An excellent read.

Solid.

Love the author and content.

Hate it won’t be included indefinitely in the plus catalog.

A very clear and concise message.

Encouraging

I found the book encouraging and an excellent reminder of truths I know. The concepts presented is such a way that the newest follower of Yeshua can easily understand and a more mature follower still be challenged.

Simple Truths

The parables and verses historically pointing to faith. Just a little faith can accomplish a lot for God.
