Paul encourages believers struggling with death saying, "For we walk by faith and not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7) Yet, all around us we hear that we should use our common sense or listen to our feelings. So, which should we do? In today's Christian experience, far too often we see people harmed when they walk by sight instead of faith. How, when struggling with the weight of regret, doubt, suffering, loss, and discouragement, can we walk by faith? What does it even mean to walk by faith then? Fortunately, God's people have faced all of those challenges. They show us what it means to walk by faith instead of sight. With over 20 years as a Pastor to regular people, Pastor John Jakes has seen people wrestle with these issues. The good news is, those people aren't just us! God's people down through the ages have wrestled with walking by faith. Join Pastor John as he journeys back in the lives of people like David, Moses, Samson, Elijah, Martha, and Peter to discover the secret to walking by faith in every season of life.

John Jakes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of such acclaimed historical novels as North and South and The Kent Family Chronicles compiled in one volume a century's worth of his favorite American Western fiction. To illustrate the evolution of the genre, Jakes has included such legendary authors as Owen Wister, Louis L'Amour, and Zane Grey along side their more contemporary peers such as Loren Estleman and Elmer Kelton. While the stories have changed over the years, certain timeless themes of Western fiction remain constant. At the heart of the stories are ideas that have become synonymous with the American dream--the frontier spirit, individual freedoms, and man's relationship with the land. A Century of Great Western Stories is essentially a retrospective of western writing over the past century, but Jakes also sets out to give readers a glimpse of what the future might hold for western fiction. While trends in publishing might not always be promising, the current crop of contemporary Western authors show that the old west will always have a place in the world of fiction. Like the American dream which it celebrates, Western fiction will persevere.
