THE FAITH SERIES
Faith is one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian vocabulary.
For some, faith is treated as a blind leap—belief without evidence, conviction without grounding.
For others, faith is reduced to emotion, tradition, or cultural inheritance.
And for many, faith is something assumed rather than examined, practiced rather than understood.
Scripture presents faith very differently.
Biblical faith is neither irrational nor accidental.
It is not blind, nor is it merely intellectual.
It is a response to revelation—God making Himself known and calling His creation to trust Him.
“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
— Hebrews 11:1
The FAITH SERIES exists to recover and explore this biblical understanding of faith—both why faith is reasonable and how faith is lived.
This series was written in response to two growing misunderstandings in the modern church.
The first is the belief that faith and reason are opposed. Many assume that to believe in God is to abandon logic, evidence, or intellectual honesty. In reaction to this assumption, some Christians feel pressured to choose between thoughtful inquiry and simple trust.
The second misunderstanding is equally damaging: the belief that faith requires no understanding at all. In this view, faith becomes a vague feeling, an unexamined tradition, or a cultural label rather than a lived conviction.
Scripture rejects both extremes.
Faith is not irrational—but neither is it merely intellectual.
Faith is reasonable—but it is never self-generated.
Faith engages the mind—but it ultimately rests in trust.
Several works already included in this series address the reasonableness of faith directly. Titles such as Faith Is Not Blind, Faith Is Reasonable, and Christianity, A Logical Conclusion explore the intellectual foundations of belief—engaging questions of logic, worldview, evidence, and coherence. These works confront the modern assumption that belief in God requires a suspension of thought.
They demonstrate that Christian faith does not collapse under scrutiny. It endures it.
Yet Scripture never stops at why faith is justified. It moves immediately to how faith is lived.
That is where the heart of this series lies.
The FAITH SERIES is not written merely to defend belief, but to form believers—to explore what faith looks like when it is received, exercised, tested, weakened, strengthened, and endured over time. Scripture presents faith not as a single moment, but as a lifelong posture.
Some have little faith.
Some have great faith.
Some trust simply without ever learning to doubt.
Some struggle honestly and fear their faith is insufficient.
Some endure quietly for decades, unseen and uncelebrated.
Scripture makes room for all of these realities.
“The righteous shall live by faith.”
— Habakkuk 2:4
That statement is not poetic sentiment. It is a defining principle. Faith is not merely how one begins the Christian life—it is how one lives it.
Across its volumes, the FAITH SERIES explores faith as Scripture presents it:
faith as a gift from God, not a human achievement
faith that grows through hearing, obedience, and time
faith that can feel absent without being lost
faith that endures pressure, delay, and silence
faith that shapes an entire life rather than occupying a single compartment
The series intentionally avoids formulas. Scripture offers none. Instead, it offers patterns, warnings, encouragements, and examples—calling believers not to manufacture faith, but to receive it, steward it, and live by it.
This series is written with pastoral restraint. It does not rush to explain what Scripture leaves mysterious, nor does it soften what Scripture states plainly. It acknowledges the pain of unanswered questions, the weight of parental regret, the reality of doubt, and the quiet strength of enduring trust.
Above all, it insists on this truth: faith is not sustained by emotion, personality, or intellectual confidence. Faith is sustained by the faithfulness of God.
“If we are faithless, He remains faithful.”
— 2 Timothy 2:13
The FAITH SERIES is written for believers who want to think clearly without becoming brittle, to trust deeply without becoming naïve, and to live faithfully in a world that often misunderstands both reason and belief.
Faith, rightly understood, is not the abandonment of reason.
Nor is it the denial of struggle.
It is the alignment of trust with truth—
and the daily decision to live as though God is who He says He is.
That is biblical faith.
And that is the journey this series seeks to explore.
