Lessons In Faith — learned the hard way

by C. Aaron Russell

Lessons In Faith—learned the hard way weaves lessons from biblical stories and modern illustrations, detailing the many ways that Man, has always been determined to ‘help God out’ through our own perceived wisdom and strength. In essence, we are the creation trying to help the creator. This book chronicles our follies, such as pride, impatience and temptation—all leading to mistakes, sometimes big ones. But the book is also about redemption, designed to give us a better understanding of what it is to be changed from a being made of flesh, led by desire, into a new creation formed from Spirit and led by faith.

The beauty of The Bible is that it doesn’t hold back, giving the inner truth about its characters, and it is not always pretty. What good would a book be, on learning hard lessons in faith, if it didn’t follow that standard? Thus, this book often doesn’t pull any punches and takes an honest hard look, from a biblical perspective, at the state of our modern American lifestyle, faith, churches and doctrines.
Lessons In Faith—learned the hard way provokes both thought and spirit, and paints a complete picture of what it takes to grow substantial faith.

Gutsy, punchy and a real fresh honest account of the faith, no wishy washy business here. Straight to the point and then some.
This was such a good read and a powerful testimony that discussed some issues within the church that sometimes we skirt around but here its open and honest and with compassion, no judgments made.
What really surprised me was how the Bible was brought across in a really modern account that makes you sit back and think 'oh my days when you read it like that'. It encourages you to go grab your Bible, it truly amazes me how majestic God is and the ways in which he works[ and unfortunately us ]and this is a book that will deliver it across for you in a fresh way.
