Reaching for the Heavens e-bog

In Reaching for the Heavens, author Anne Asim highlights thirty-nine women, men, groups, and heroes of faith who experienced numerous challenges without losing their faith in the living God. They didn't have Christ, the cross, or the resurrection to look to. They didn't completely understand the Lord's purpose. They didn't know or understand the blessings to come, the adoption as sons, the throne of grace made accessible, but they persevered, doing what was right and keeping their faith. They stumbled, had questions, even doubted, but they kept trusting their maker. Anne's examination answers the following questions: Why did they stay faithful when encountering difficulties? Why did they keep going when it was easier to just walk away? What motivated them to endure? What was their secret?The author of Hebrews tells us they were looking at someone greater and something bigger than their reality. What did that look like in practice? What can we learn from their reactions and attitudes? Beginning with Abel, Reaching for the Heavens draws a picture of their faith so your faith may keep shining when your circumstances are overwhelming.
