Publisher Description

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.

"Good quick read, but if you are familiar with Wright's body of work, then much of this will not be new. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in "dipping their toe" into the waters of Tom Wright."

    " This is a reprint of the 1978 original, and so, as Wright acknowledges in the preface to this edition, his thinking has changed. And it is clear it is early Wright. That said, of course, even early Wright has a lot of great stuff to say. "

    " maybe since it was one of his first books........but wasn't that great. He is still my all time favorite Biblical scholar. "

    " It was really interesting to get a glimpse of Wright's thinking in his early years. You can see some glimpses of where he would eventually go with his theology. It's an interesting read and has some good points in it. "

    " This collection of early sermons works well as a devotional tool, as well as being a good introduction to what Wright develops more deeply in subsequent books. "
