Aprašymas

Filled with Max's signature storytelling and gospel-centered insights, Steadfast Faith provides an encouraging message that is both timely and timeless. Max offers a fresh look at the story of Elijah, an important and sometimes overlooked Old Testament prophet, teaching readers how to have faith in turbulent or uncertain times, regardless of the challenges or circumstances they may face.

American society is imitating the decline of ancient Israel. In a historical blink of an eye, we are shedding old beliefs and grasping for new ones. What was unthinkable two decades ago is acceptable today. The world around us is changing. Yet the story of Elijah offers us hope. He shows us that one person praying to a living God is greater than 850 people praying to a dead one. He shows us how to find faith in a whitewater torrent of odd gods and bad odds.

Elijah's story is a field manual on how to thrive during a spiritual drought. He reminds us to:

• Wait for God in solitude and silence
• Pray impossible prayers
• Live with an expectation of divine disruption
• Turn to God during emotional lows
• Understand the spiritual battle we fight

Elijah's story will help calm your fears and guide your steps. Faith in our living God stirs a force for living life. With God's help and following Elijah's encouraging example, readers will discover strength to ride the storm of this turbulent life with a steadfast faith.
