Seeking Faith, Finding God
John RackleyPaperback 2007-10-19
Often we turn to the Bible looking for 'off the shelf' answers. When confusion and doubt crowd in, we open its pages hoping to find simple answers to our complex situations.??John Rackley challenges this view, exploring what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, learning and following in his way. Rather than searching for easy answers, how can we develop a seeking and searching faith that ultimately strives to find God's heart of grace?
