About the author

Naomi Reed is a Christian writer and speaker who grew up in Sydney and studied physiotherapy with her husband Darren. After working at Sydney hospitals, they spent six years serving in Nepal with the International Nepal Fellowship. During this time, Naomi worked at Green Pastures Leprosy Hospital and enjoyed fellowship at their local Nepali church. She also home-schooled their three sons and struggled through seven monsoons. At one point, fearing she may not make it through another 120 days of rain, she began to write. The months of typing by candlelight helped her to see God’s purposes through different seasons and (somewhat surprisingly) became her first book, ‘My Seventh Monsoon’. Back in Australia, ‘My Seventh Monsoon’ was warmly received and Naomi continued writing – firstly the sequel, ‘No Ordinary View’ (which won the ACBOY award, 2009) and ’Over My Shoulder’ – a look at the impact of personality on cross-cultural mission.

If you have ever wondered if God is real …

If you have ever wondered if God exists outside of your own cultural space and time …

If you have ever wondered how other people meet God …

Read this book.

These are stories from vastly different places: from middle-class Iran to a Nepali village without electricity, from small-town America to outback Australia. These are stories about vastly different people: powerful businessmen, female child labourers, questioning intellectuals, and enterprising mothers. In all these stories, God is at work: drawing people into relationship with himself, working through circumstance, through supernatural acts of power, and through the faithful witness of other Christians.

A deeply encouraging book about life-transforming encounters with God.

The extraordinary thing about this book (apart from the conversion stories) from around the world is that everyone who took part in this book, all the thirteen people who told their story from around the world all got their own copy. So this book is going around the world and will reach so many people and hopefully lots of people around the world will be inspired by these stories of Finding Faith.

Naomi Reed writes in an easy down to earth manner. Finding Faith is the story of a number of different people, from different cultures, languages and belief systems as interviewed by Naomi. Some of the people she knew, others were referred to her by friends. All those interviewed had something in common: they found faith in God through Jesus, often after a long and circuitous journey. If you believe in the miraculous you will find it here. God breaks through voodoo saturated Benin culture. He breaks down the hold of wealthy Singapore culture and changes hopelessness in outback Australia for a blind Aboriginal man. I loved reading all the stories told in truth and clarity.
