Synopsis

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.

This book is simple. I usually don't like simple books. But this is a huge exception. It is one of the most formative books in my spiritual journey and I'm really grateful that I learned about the importance of prayer from this work.......more

Goodreads review by Candace on June 18, 2019

Jim is one of my favorite Christian authors for the simple fact that he never makes the content within in the pages about him but rather he uses illustrations from the lives of others, keeping the focus of the book %100 centered on the Lord.......more

Using events in the Bible and things that happens in his church show how God can come to revive and enliven possibly stale faith to make it fresh again.......more

Goodreads review by Paige on September 05, 2019

Jim has an annoying habit of writing books that completely wreck my life and cut so deeply into my soul that I feel like I’ve just undergone open heart surgery. This was just another of those. Trying to pick a favorite Quote from it is like trying to choose which one of my children is my favorite. T......more

Goodreads review by Daunavan on February 14, 2024

This was a good book. Lots of stories and scriptures really helped the book move along quickly (I read it in one sitting). I was looking for a book that helped define faith Biblically and this book did that while provoking my own faith. I really like what he had to say about unbelief and how the ene......more
