Unquenchable Faith
I normally don’t rant and rave about books that I am reading, but I just feel that this book merits a long overdue rant from your truly. For the second time I have started reading and studying David Faust’s book Unquenchable Faith as a study aid for Paul’s letters to the church in Thessalonica. I first read the book back in college and I really have come to enjoy Dr. Faust as an author. The book is a manuscript version of a sermon series that he preached back in 2003, and even though they are sermons they read like a well written book. You can read it in a couple weeks or so, and that’s really taking your time with it.
I just love to read about people, like Paul, who had such great zeal for the life and their life’s work. I guess I consider myself a zealous person, but it is very had for me to focus my determination and excitment on God’s work rather than mine at times. Recounting the advice of Paul to a growing church is very much helping me to regain focus. I mean, it often seems that Paul was worried about nothing but the growth of Christ’s church and the furthering of His message. It seems like an impossible thing to do to me, but at least I try harder after reading something like this.
So, if you are in a small group or a sunday school class that is looking for a great study then give this book a read. RANT OVER.
