Book Review: 52 Ways to Grow Your Faith by Gregg Peter Farah

No matter how long you have been a follower of Christ, it's always a good idea to ponder this question: "Is my faith growing?" Our desire should be to know Him more and to make Him known. Do you feel stuck spiritually or feel suffocated by this busy, noisy world we live in? Gregg Peter Farah offers 52 ways to help readers grow their faith...to connect with God.

Alone Yet Not Alone

I'm excited and curious about this new movie coming out next month (9-27-2013). It looks really interesting. Check out its trailer below. You can purchase tickets at http://seatzy.com/ayna/ .

It's about steadfast faith in God that sustained 2 sisters who were captured and separated by the Indians during the French and Indian War. I have never read the book but I really like the following poem (which someone quoted from the book). " Alone, yet not alone am I Though in this solitude so drear I feel my Saviour always nigh; He comes the weary hours to cheer I am with Him and He with me It therefore cannot lonely be ."
