We all know that we need to find or make time for family spiritual development. But ?knowing? and ?doing? are two completely different things. In Making Faith Fun, Amy Viets points out that perhaps trying to carve out a block of time for family spirituality is a mistake. Instead we can weave our faith into the mesh of our lives, creating a living faith as we go about our daily activities. After all, God is everywhere. Making Faith Fun is divided into chapters that reflect the everyday routines of our families. In chapters such as ?On the Road? and ?At the Store? you?ll recognize the same challenges and opportunities we all face, and you?ll find simple, practical suggestions for turning busy moments into a living faith. In the car, for example, the author offers such ideas as singing along to popular Christian music, or using the countless billboards passed along the road to spark discussion on important issues to help instill positive values in children.

Having faith is fun, and it really is just that--fun! When you realize that faith has all the answers to your situation, why would you live in fear? When you live in fear, your fear is your faith, and you believe what fear says. We have all been given a measure of faith not to hold on to but to use. Faith is an action word, which requires action to reap the rewards of answered prayers of those things hoped for. Believing when we pray powers our faith. In the book of James, he reminds us that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20 KJV). As time goes by, our measure of faith, which we should be using whether it's the mustard seed or something greater, would grow over time into a mustard tree (Matthew 21:34-37). No one should have the same measure of faith they were given at birth. Babies don't know anything about faith, but there is a mechanism in place that when a baby cries, attention comes. It's the same with our faith: when it is used, it brings God's attention to our situation. So as you see, having faith is fun. Faith already has the answer to whatever you're going through. Try having fun with faith, and you'll see and notice the difference in your trials. Let go of fear and grab your faith because having faith is fun when you use it and believe it! What I noticed is the power that faith produces from one trial to another. Faith grows. It should not be the same faith you used when you were younger. Faith doesn't stay the same. It changes, it grows. It is sad when I hear someone say, "I have mustard seed faith after going through many trials." Faith is a seed that is meant to grow bigger and better with every trial. Faith makes you a winner. Real faith never fails. Make faith your friend and fear your enemy. You will see the difference in the results.

How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on that we don't know how to share our faith. However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there—in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils. Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the "five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch." From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with—and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one. This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic. "Dan Strange has written another terrific, down-to-earth book to help believers engage in fruitful conversations with friends about faith." Dr. Timothy Keller, who has also written the foreword to this book.
