When Faith Dares (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955309301)

Really, God? I'm trying to follow You and this is where I land?

How do we dare to let go to embrace the Lord's vision for us and push into the uncomfortable and hard places of life, when all we really want is to bail?

Bible teacher, coach, and recording artist Terri McFarland invites you into her story of daring faith amid the crushing pain of shattered dreams and devastating disappointment. Through it all, Terri reveals how daring to trust God who He says He is, allows His presence to instill in us the power of courage to be free of a painful past, a challenging present, and an uncertain future.

Although God veils the details of His plan for our lives, He still asks us to follow, to envision the improbable. Will we dare to embrace the Lord's vision for us and chase after Him even when the path is fraught with disappointing deserts and valleys? How do we walk out our faith during a financial crisis, an unfavorable medical prognosis, or a failed relationship? Is it possible to move forward when destructive behaviors have taken their toll and we can't see the next step?

Using biblical stories, as well as stories from her own experiences, Terri reveals how daring to trust God, and allow His presence to instill in us the power of courage to heal, to face a painful past, a challenging present, and an uncertain future. And through it all, we find our loving and kind God is working on our behalf--even when we most want to ditch His plans for us.

Unlike so many anxiety self help books for women, When Faith Dares will inspire you to envision the improbable, to trust the Lord when it doesn't make sense, and to dare to let go and stay the course even when it defies logic. And throughout the unexpected twists and turns--when you most want to ditch God's plans--you will grow to discover that He led you right where He wanted all along...into a deeper and more beautiful relationship with Him, showing us that faith can move mountains.

When Faith Dares is a story of heartbreak, loss, and the cultivation of daring courage. If you wrestle with God in the valley and wonder how you will make it through, then you will resonate with Terri's experience. Daring to trust the heart of God even when dreams are reduced to rubble we can be emboldened to break through roadblocks, step out in faith, as we discover a deeper and more beautiful relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
