Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” A house isn’t built all at once. Preliminary things must come first, then the foundation, then the structure. Perseverance is needed to overcome unexpected hindrances. Building a life with God is, in every way, similar to building a house. Many think a life with God is all about personal salvation and going to heaven. God’s plan is much bigger than that. We live in a world of growing instability and troubles. People need a house that offers them safety and well-being. Discover in this book how the Lord builds a house that provides what people need. Those who build a life with God will build a house that others will find welcoming and life-giving.

Faith Always Has An ObjectWhat you and I believe in is what we rely on to give us what we need and want. There are two important questions to consider: Is what (or Whom) we "believe in" capable of giving us what we need for life? Is what we think we want the same as what we truly need? Faith--Book 2 of the Upload Your Faith Series--answers questions about faith, shows how and why faith works, helps us identify weaknesses and strengths of our faith, challenges us to consider God as the ultimate source of faith, and gives insights on how faith enables us to overcome problems we face.Examples include how faith helps one overcome addictions and how faith helps one establish a positive self-identity. The goal of this book is to help readers grow in understanding and practicing genuine faith, thus becoming the person God created us to be.If you liked Faith: A Journey for All by Jimmy Carter, Unthinkable Faith by Tracie Miles, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Normal L Geisler, or Fierce Faith by Alli Worthington, you are going to love and enjoy Faith: When the Son of Man Comes, Will He Find Faith On the Earth?
