Building Faith

A Testament of Importunity, Waiting, Working, Endurance, Resilience, and Transformation!

Faith, the deep-rooted persuasion and confidence in the Lord and the assurance that we can trust His words, is the bedrock of believing, surrendering, and walking daily with God. However, many struggle to even achieve the mustard-seed size Jesus mentioned. This book examines biblical faith building and the many gifts one can obtain as they learn to build their faith through importunity, waiting, working, endurance, resilience, and transformation. It provides a framework for not missing the many gifts at each cyclical juncture.

These treasures are entwined in the journey of a woman—Kate. Her narratives can provide relatable experiences to provide encouragement, the avoidance of pitfalls, enabling factors, and everyday resources for building faith. This book encourages theological reflections to reframe our narratives and bring about illuminations to the darkest areas of our experiences. We are encouraged not to lose focus, as we could easily miss or reject the gifts born out of our faith journeys. Personal journaling and prayers are encouraged, which helps to connect us with the divine.
