Knocking & Knowing: when faith is hard to find

by Lia London

Sometimes believing in God is hard. He feels far away, distant, aloof, maybe even vengeful. So how can we find a seed of faith, plant it, and help it grow? Whether you are just learning of Jesus for the first time, or feel that your long relationship with Him is in a rut, this book can inspire you to rise to the next level of devotion. Knocking & Knowing is based on one woman's journey of spiritual growth. Amidst the relatable, personal anecdotes lie many simple principles and practices that can lead any searching soul to find God. Includes an extensive questionnaire to prompt a spiritual self-evaluation and make a plan of faith-building action.
