Description

Have you ever been afraid, so afraid it caused you to make bad decisions, to do things you know you shouldn't? You're not alone! When King David and Bathsheba were expecting a child, David sent Bathsheba's husband, Uriah to his death. Sarah was afraid she & her husband, Abraham would never have children so she told Abraham to have a child with her servant. Bad decisions driven by fear and a lack of faith. Have you ever been afraid and overcome your fear with a powerful faith, faith in God & faith in yourself? Noah had faith in God, building an ark long before the rain began. Esther had faith in God, speaking up to save the lives of her people even at the risk of her own life. Good decisions made under difficult circumstances. Empowered by Faith is filled with 24 Biblical stories of people faced with a challenge and responding out of either fear or faith, stories that still offer powerful lesson for us today. Jean Ann Duckworth offers an overview of each story with key points, how the lesson applies to life today, and the way fear and faith impact the lesson. You then have an opportunity to consider how the lesson applies to you and your life. Whether a story of faith or a cautionary tale, each lesson teaches the reader ways to strengthen their faith even in the most frightening situation.
