Have you ever wondered how God speaks to us? This book will reveal one of the ways he speaks to us in his word from the Bible. I have learned how to hear from God through the word and by his Holy Spirit, but I have always believed that the Holy Spirit speaks the word to us when he teaches us.

Since the Word is a sharp, two-edged sword, it will reveal the spiritual word against your fleshly knowledge and rightfully divide it, leaving you to decide what you will choose to do and follow.

A recent survey found that a large majority of people who describe themselves as Christians struggle with faith and often succumb to fear and unbelief.

However, faith is not a social media hashtag, nor is it some positive force flowing throughout the universe that we tap into like a Star Wars Jedi.
