Real Faith in Action: The Demonstration of Nine Principles That Characterize Authentic Faith

Description: In this day of increasing uncertainty and fear faith in God is needed more than ever before. In addition to its incalculable other benefits faith in God brings peace comfort and overflowing joy to those who put their trust in God. But not any kind of faith can procure these benefits only biblical faith can. When understood in its biblical authenticity and then put into action faith always leads to triumph in that it enables us to experience what God ordained for us to obtain perform and become. In light of this it is extremely important that we--the people of God--possess a comprehensive biblically-based practical tool to aid us in achieving this understanding. Real Faith in Action is that tool! It presents an unconventional multi-dimensional view of faith revealing many aspects usually not discussed in other works through nine principles that are clearly laid out by the Holy Spirit in what is unquestionably the most comprehensive reporting of the working of faith in all of Scripture--the roll call of faith in Hebrews 11. The principles are thus illustrated through the real life experiences of fellow humans who dared to believe God for the impossible. Accordingly the book goes beyond explaining faith to demonstrating faith. It is designed to captivate and draw the reader into the world of the faith heroes of the past thus inspiring him or her to do likewise. Furthermore in that real life experiences are discussed any thought of being incapable of doing the same should be vanquished knowing that others succeeded in their accomplishments by utilizing the same faith to which we also have access. Endorsements: Inspiring informative instructive and pastoral are just a few words that describe Real Faith in Action. This body of work will prove to be an invaluable resource in the hands of believers because the desired effect is to stir up bold faith in us that will enable us to trust God for all of His promises. For his scholarly work and contribution to the cause of Christ I am godly proud of Pastor Hazell. I am also confident that readers will give thanks to God for him for being obedient and diligent in doing what the Holy Spirit inspired him to do in making this book available to us. --Dr. Roderick Caesar Bishop of Bethel Gospel Tabernacle Fellowship International This guide to faith is a gift to our spiritual disciplines demonstrating anew the excellence of theological reflection Biblical interpretation and pastoral sensitivity and care that the author showed in his years of study at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. As readers we will surely find this book helpful in discerning milestones on our own pilgrimage of faith--and as we get closer to the Heavenly Jerusalem we are likely to discover that we are gaining a new friend in Curl Oral Hazell as he accompanies us along the way. --Richard E. Sturm Ph.D. Professor and Director NBTS New York Program The Reverend Curl Oral Hazell has written a book that will catch the attention and imagination of pastors preachers and students of the Bible. Hazell uses the men and women of faith found in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews as models of principles that can nurture every persons faith. His interpretation of their lives is pastoral and practical intimate and inspiring loving and loyal to the intent of the author of the Letter to the Hebrews. Faith for Hazell is both an act of belief and a deep relationship of trust in the God who created us and will never abandon us. The price of the book is rewarded in every chapter but especially in the one that calls us to exercise faith that is ridiculous--a faith that is bold foolish and radical. It is the kind of faith that drew Abraham out of his comfort zone and all of us out of armchair religion into one that demands our all. I commend Real Faith in Action as an aid for every spiritual pilgrim looking for direction insight and inspiration along the way. --The R
