About this audiobook
Trusting Jesus is hard. It requires following the unseen into an unknown, and believing Jesus's words over and against the threats we see or the fears we feel. Through the imaginative retelling of 35 Bible stories, Not by Sight gives us glimpses of what it means to walk by faith, counsel for how to trust God's promises more than our perceptions, and the way to find rest in the faithfulness of God.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely love this book. Truly relatable for me. Thank you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I happened upon this book when reading a blog post that Jon Bloom wrote. I forget exactly what the blog post was about, but I sure am glad I got this book. It is definitely something to pick up and read over again. The Bible stories are told here in an expansive, devotional format, and every one of them is enlightening, encouraging and yet sticks to the truth w/out adding in unlikely details.
I'll definitely be looking for more from Jon Bloom.
