Book Description

Many Christians with good reason wonder why "speaking a word in faith" or "praying in faith" or "praying in Jesus' name" doesn't always produce the hoped-for results. "I claim it in Jesus' name!" "Every promise in the Book is mine." There's a lot of confusing teaching about the subject of faith nowadays. How do we get it sorted out and arrive at the biblical basis of understanding this grand subject? And how do we walk before God in that divine faith (not human faith), which He assures us "is substance"?Author Percy Gutteridge introduces us to a fresh, insightful, out-of-the-mainstream way of looking at the larger picture of faith, what it is, and how it works. He covers a solid spectrum of faith-related themes - faith's Author and Finisher, its conditions, nature, practice and problems; its growth, certainties, perfecting, and what the triumph of faith looks like. The author also delves into how God prepares His men and women of faith. And he's honest enough to share not only his successes, but also his failures in learning to live the life of faith.When "Faith Is Substance" made its debut in 1975, its truths laid a solid foundation in many believers which has stood the test of time, and kept many Christians from the foolishness, fads, and fanaticism that are so often associated with the subject of "faith." With its solid, deep, uncompromising Bible teaching, full of Percy Gutteridge's down-to-earth, "Holy Ghost common sense," the book's message is needed more than ever today.
