Wright, Tom

__In the midst of life's challenges, so often our faith feels small and weak. In this book one of the world's greatest Bible teachers reminds us that what matters is not so much our faith itself as Who our faith is in.__

Faith, says Tom Wright, is like a window. The point of a window is to allow us to see through it - and let light into the room! Faith allows us to see our situation and our own weakness in the light of God who is powerful, holy and loving.

Tom Wright also looks at the character of the faith to which God calls us. He shows how dependence, humility and mystery all have a role to play. He doesn't ignore the messiness and difficulties of life, when hard times come and the unexpected knocks us down. He explores what faith means in times of trial and even in the face of death. Through it all he reminds us that what we need is not great faith, but faith in a great God.

Short chapters written in an accessible and popular style explore key issues of belief and their practical outworking in daily life. Anecdotes and reflections backed by Tom Wright's deep biblical knowledge are presented in an easily digestible form.

The Good Book Stall

The mark of great writing is that it stands the test of time and remains relevant over time without going out of date. When opening this book it is hard to realise that it was written in 1978. It is also interesting to see how the tenets of Wright’s faith have palpably remained consistent over this time and the reader is able to grasp practical advice and application that were originally designed for students in the author’s early years but still applicable today to any serious disciple.  
Intentionally a slim volume, and written in easily accessible language this book is divided into 3 sections : Faith in a Great God; Faith to Live and Love and Faith to Walk in the Dark containing short chapters with catchy titles which can stand alone on their own but together seem to be so much more and provide a mine of nuggets that can be referred back to again and again. Based on sound Biblical doctrine, infused with relevant topical insight and taught in an easily graspable way this is a valuable book that is a joy to read and it will make an excellent tool to anyone who wants to add to their understanding of a living, meaningful and relevant faith. Reprinted after 33 years, SPCK would do well not to let this title go out of print again.
