About this audiobook
In an era laced with worry about the present and cynicism about the future, in a climate in which we’ve grown tired of hoping for miracles and wary of trumped-up claims that only disappoint, comes a confident reminder that God has not fallen asleep. He has not forgotten his people nor retreated into semi-retirement. On the contrary, he is ready to respond to real faith wherever he finds it. Pastor Jim Cymbala insists that faith is more than mental assent to some core beliefs. Fresh faith is not a magic formula that operates by believing hard and long enough to get what you want from God. Neither does it involve obeying a set of rules and laws so that you can struggle your way to faith. Rather, authentic, biblical faith is simple, honest, and utterly dependent upon God, a faith capable of transforming your life, your church, and the nation itself. Jim Cymbala calls us back to authentic, biblical faith, a fiery, passionate preoccupation with God that will restore what the enemy has stolen from us: our first love for Jesus, our zeal, our troubled children, our wounded marriages, our broken and divided churches. Born out of the heart and soul of The Brooklyn Tabernacle, the message of Fresh Faith is illustrated by true stories of men and women whose lives have been changed through the power of faith.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Read / listen to this book. You will out regret it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good little book! Worth the listen and worth sharing with others,
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book! Some of my favorite quotes:
How must God feel every Sunday when, all over the nation, so many people gather in churches but do so little actual praying?
The great battle of our spiritual lives is, "Will you believe?" It is not, "Will you try harder?"
"The hardest part of faith is often simply to wait".
Do we believe what our feelings and circumstances tell us, or do we believe what God has promised to do?
In fact, the greatest battle on earth has not been fought on the Normandy beaches or on Iwo Jima or in the Persian Gulf. Rather, it has raged inside your heart and mine: the battle to believe.
Faith is as essential to everyday living as it is to initial salvation.
How pitiful that millions of churchgoers cheer wildly and unashamedly for their favorite sports teams, but are silent as a corpse when it comes to praising God!
Faith is especially nurtured when we just wait in God's presence, taking the time to love him and listen for His voice. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another life changing book. What is important to God? - what you accomplish? - your success? - your attractiveness? - your good deeds? These are all part of who you are, but what is important to Him is your faith. This book is a reminder of the transformational power of the Holy Spirit.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not a bad book and of course the subject matter is great. Great examples of how faith has moved God in the lives of people. Encouraging in how I can and should increase my faith. This isn't a blind faith, but often a reasoned faith. One that becomes evident through circumstances surrounding your lives. Jim relays examples from scripture and from his present day ministry to show us the strength and importance of faith.
