One thing I want to do is consider specifically what a perspective of faith involves. In the next chapter we will consider four outlooks which are central to the biblical attitude of faith. Then in Part Two we'll look at each of them in more detail. In Part Three we'll consider steps we can take to keep a perspective of faith strong, once we understand what it is. In Part Four we'll look at the fascinating area of God's miraculous intervention in our lives and suggest what it means to have a reasonable expectation of the miraculous.
Few areas help more to bolster our faith.
Though many other topics could be considered in a study of this sort, I've chosen some which relate to areas where Christians struggle most frequently today. As I think is obvious from the menu of topics, my concern is not with examining Christian doctrine per se, but with considering how we should view our life experience from the standpoint of faith. That area alone will give us more than enough concerns for one book. My purpose in this book is not only to consider what faith is but to encourage faith. Each chapter is written both to add something to our understanding of faith and as a meditation to inspire faith.
