Does life have meaning? Is hope really possible? Is there a way to find strength in the midst of loss? Is there a God? If so, does He care about what happens to us? These are some of life's biggest, deepest questions. Yet millions of people believe they have found the path that will lead them to the ultimate answers. They call it faith. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Faith, authors Moore and Bittner tackle the timeless issues of why some people choose to believe in a loving and forgiving God, what such belief can look like, and how Christian faith can yield benefits in every aspect of life, from improving family and work relationships to providing strength in the face of setbacks and loss. To help readers explore their own journeys of faith, each chapter includes a variety of self-discover exercises, tips, and helpful sidebars explaining faith from a conservative Christian perspective.
