{"product_id":"9798887698595_hold-fast","title":"Hold Fast","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaith sounds simple until the storm hits. In \u003ci\u003eHold Fast: Unrelenting Faith Through Rough Waters\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran pastor Bryan Clark--who has walked with believers through crisis for more than four decades--strips away the confusion around one of Christianity's most misunderstood words. Faith, he argues, is neither a magic power that bends reality nor a Sunday-morning intellectual assent. It's choosing to believe God tells the truth, then acting on that belief when the waters get rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Scripture's own storm imagery from the parting of the Red Sea to Jesus asleep in a sinking boat--and on his own devastating losses, including his father's early death, his mother's three battles with cancer, the stillbirth of his only grandchild, and the death of his son-in-law three years later, Clark shows what it looks like to hold fast when the answers never come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross fourteen chapters, \u003ci\u003eHold Fast\u003c\/i\u003e confronts the real obstacles to a lived faith: unbelief, deception, temptation, worldliness, doubts about Scripture, and simple forgetfulness. Each chapter closes with an \"I Have a Question\" sidebar tackling the hard questions readers actually ask, from \"Is there a conflict between faith and science?\" to \"Would my wife still be alive if I had more faith?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHold Fast\u003c\/i\u003e doesn't promise smooth sailing. It offers something better: a tested, biblical case for gripping the rigging when the storm hits--and coming through with your faith intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bryan Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41313497088049,"sku":"9798887698595","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9798887698595.jpg?v=1793371037","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9798887698595_hold-fast","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
