Faith is Not a Feeling
In 1976, a Colorado flood took 150 lives, including those of seven women on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ International. Deeply grieved by the loss, survivor Ney Bailey embraced a journey of faith that led her to a life-changing truth: No matter how things look and no matter how we feel, God is in control.
In Faith Is Not a Feeling, Ney reveals how life's tragedies and challenges lead us to an important decision about how we will relate to God. Now with a new twelve-week Bible study, this well-loved book helps readers discover how to experience true peace and confidently take God at his word as never before.

My small group leader from Campus Crusade for Christ while I was in college highly recommended this book to me.
Often distraught by my feelings, I learned that need not be so. Bailey simple shared how to grow in faith, which has helped me enormously over the years, despite the sorrows and trials that have come my way.

This is a passionate insightful book. It seemed to me that it was written not out of any desire to write, but out of a desire to share her passion and insight. I found it helpful, practical, and encouraging, but I did not love her writing style, nor do I think it has much literary merit.

My copy of this book is literally falling apart. I have read and reread—the TRUTH that “faith is taking God at His Word” is one I need to relearn at each stage of my journey with Christ. Simple, but powerful!
I was asked to share with a Sunday School class--and "woman of faith" echoed in my mind. The idea that a ‘woman of faith’ is a woman who takes God at His Word—no matter the circumstances, the emotions, the thoughts, the appearances brought me back to this book, back to the importance of God’s Word—it must be the foundation of my life.
This is a profound, clearly written, very important theme for every believer in Jesus Christ.

An amazing account of God's affirmation of one woman's choices. Her experiences in the flood have stayed with me for these many years. A small book with long lasting meaning.

One of the first christian biographies I read. Even though it is several decades old I recommend it for powerful faith journey.
