Klappentext

In the midst of life's challenges, so often our faith feels small and weak. In this book one of the world's greatest Bible teachers reminds us that what matters is not so much our faith itself as Who our faith is in.

Faith, says Tom Wright, is like a window. 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 the light of God who is powerful, holy and loving.

Tom Wright also looks at the character of the faith to which God calls us. He shows how dependence, humility and mystery all have a role to play. He doesn't ignore the messiness and difficulties of life, when hard times come and the unexpected knocks us down. He explores what faith means in times of trial and even in the face of death. Through it all he reminds us that what we need is not great faith, but faith in a great God.
