Why is it that Christians want to do mighty exploits for God, and yet, when it comes to simply taking their next step of faith they hesitate, they falter, or they want to quit? Why do we think that the "walking on water" kind of faith is only for the few, the spiritually advanced, or the saints We dream of walking on water, while we refuse to get out of bed like we oughta. This should not be. We must learn to walk by faith, not sight. God wants each of His children to live the adventure of faith. God wants to teach us to trust Him above our circumstances, our trials and our feelings. In Like a Bridge, Brenda explores the walk of faith by drawing attention to ordinary men and women who chose to take a risk. In so doing, they were found pleasing to God. For without faith it is impossible to please Him. God will reveal His trustworthiness in exciting ways as you adventure with the men and women in the Art Gallery of Faith found in Hebrews 11.
