What is your faith grounded on?

If you're like me, then you probably have a similar history with Josh Harris. Homeschooled, Christian family, lots of siblings. Born with your faith. Right? Maybe not. Because as we grow older, we begin to question the "faith of our fathers".

So what is your faith based upon? The Bible stories you read before bedtime? The craft projects in Sunday school? The verses your dad taught you by rote? The sermons you hear every Sunday rain, sun, snow, or hurricane?

If you're new to the faith, Josh Harris's Dug Down Deep is a great book that will take you through the basic and non-options of the Christian faith. If you're like me - raised in a Christian home - this book is a good reminder of the essentials of our faith, our doctrine, our theology and our God. For our God and our trust in Him isn't the very foundation of our live, soon we will find ourselves slipping - just like a house built upon sand.

  1. Hi Melissa

    Happy New Year to you! I trust you are having an enjoyable day. My name is Todd Stepp and I work for BooksChristian.com, here in Franklin, TN. We are a Christian owned & operated company that sells over 200,000 Christian products.

    I have visited NHbooklover.blogspot.com and have noticed that you post book reviews on your blog. I wanted to see if you would be interested in partnering with us, enabling visitors to your blog to purchase books that you review, as well as other books that you may suggest to them (books of the day etc.). In return we would pay you 9% on every sale made. There is very little work that would need to be done on your end, as we provide all the tools to create links and codes that you can post on your blog.

    I would love to discuss this further with you at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Regards,

    Todd Stepp
