Building in the Storm

<p><strong>Having a Faith that Stands in the Storms of Life</strong></p><p>My lounge flooded once. I could do very little except move things out of the way and watch as rainwater poured through my ceiling. If the house was built differently I could have avoided that damage altogether. Not being wise in how you build may mean that storms have more impact and cost more than you want to pay.</p><p></p><p>My spiritual house my faith was utterly destroyed by a health battle. It felt like there wasn't a bit of rubble left to hide under. In other words I didn't know what I believed therefore I didn't know how to act.</p><p></p><p>I had two options: let the storm beat on me or by grace renew my mind build again but in the storm.</p><p></p><p>It's much harder to build when the storm is pounding on you which is why I wrote this book. In this writing I explore questions that get straight to the core of why we as Christians believe what we believe. </p><p>For example:</p><ul><li>Who caused the storm? God or an adversary?</li><li>What is peace? A feeling that goes or a fruit that grows?</li></ul><p></p><p>I hope my thoughts on these topics will help prevent unnecessary destruction for others by encouraging them to build their faith well <em>before</em> storms come and to offer guidance for those rebuilding.</p>
