Many strange ideas are floating around today about faith. Some think faith is a tool you can use to get all the goodies you might want. Just pray in faith and you can have that trip to Europe, the luxury car or that new home on the hill with a 360-degree view of the snowclad mountains.

Others think faith in God is something smart people should dispense with when bad things happen to good people. Neither of these views is in line with Scripture.

Melashenko and Smith respond to these and other ideas about faith. They use illustrations from real life to make Scripture teaching on faith come alive. Authors: E. Lonnie Melashenko and David B. Smith
