This book is for parents, parents who care deeply about passing on a legacy of faith in Christ, parents who invite their children to "ask Jesus into your heart." Pastor and author Charles F. Boyd found that many children don't understand the symbolism in this phrase. They believe Jesus steps into their chests to live there. This book bridges the gap between a grown-up's metaphor and a child's understanding.

For forty years, John Bowen has been a popular speaker, teacher, and preacher on university campuses, in churches and in classrooms, and at conferences across Canada. This book brings together forty of his best sermons, talks, and articles. You will be encouraged and you will be challenged. You will laugh and cry, think and pray—sometimes all at the same time. The topics are wildly various: “The Spiritual Quality of Craziness,” “Vacuum Cleaner Church,” “The Vocation of a Garbage Collector,” “Spirituality in my Sixties,” “What’s Wrong with Amazing Grace?” and “Strong and Weak” (a reflection on his bypass surgery in 2017). The audiences are as varied as the subjects: a conference of Christians in science, the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to Wycliffe College, a camp reunion, a diocesan conference, a church planting conference, his mother’s funeral, and (not least) his own parish church in Hamilton, Ontario. This is a book to dip into or to read from cover to cover. You will not be disappointed.

Faith is trust. It is a confidence in the power and goodness of God that leads us to make good decisions and allows us to surrender our lives to Him. As we strive to mature spiritually and lead lives pleasing to God, we all want more faith. Hebrews 6:12 says that we are to be ''imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.'' One of the best ways to grow in faith is to imitate the lives of people who have shown great faith. Hebrews 11 guides us through the lives of men and women - like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, David and others - who have done just that. Real people with real lives and real problems, who had faith in a great God and trusted Him at pivotal moments in their lives. By drawing on some of the greatest lives of faith in the Bible, readers will come to see that God was worthy of these men's and women's trust and faith during biblical times in the same way that He is worthy of ours today.
