Crazy Faith


Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

Book Description

In this first book-length discussion of Utah's water policies, contributors offer a comprehensive assessment of the political impact of water in the nation's second driest state. After examining the historical background, individual scholars focus on the Central Utah Project (CUP), the principal legislative plan for streamlining economic growth and demands on water resources in the state. Their analysis concentrates on four "water imperatives" - economics, environmental impact, social and cultural impact, and the question of fairness and equity when dividing this valuable resource. The authors describe the debate over priorities for water use, with agriculture, tourism, and urban development groups each staking a claim for their particular needs. They then examine in detail the various potential sources of water, proper maintenance of those sources, and effective methods for using water efficiently and conserving it. A concluding section places Utah water politics within the national context and discusses forthcoming state and national legislation that will affect Utah's water resources. This book should prove invaluable to general readers and policymakers alike who wish to learn more about Utah's water politics in anticipation of critical forthcoming legislative debates on these issues.
