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.?? ***-Publisher.***
Short chapters written in an accessible and popular style explore key issues of belief and their practical outworking in daily life. Anecdotes and reflections backed by Tom Wright's deep biblical knowledge are presented in an easily digestible form.

I know Wright has a bad reputation amongst some Protestants, but this book does not stir debates like Wright's other, deeper, theological works (read it, no matter your opinion of Wright). This book is based on sermons from Wright's early ministry. It is short, and throughout the book, Wright unpacks stories in the Bible that renew our faith. Wright also explains why we feel pain and injustice in life, writing that it is God's way of perfecting us. This is a book that I will be reading again, and recommending it to those around me that I know to be struggling. This book deserves to be promoted.
