Item description for Have Faith Anyway: The Vision of Habakkuk for Our Times by Kent M. Keith...
Overview
Using the biblical story of the prophet Habakkuk, a contemporary of Jeremiah, Keith illustrates how one can have faith in God in times of violence, insecurity, and injustice--whether in ancient or modern times.
Publishers Description
From Kent M. Keith the author of the "Paradoxical Commandments," comes a book about faith. In Have Faith Anyway, Keith explores the meaning of his eleventh commandment: The world is full of violence, injustice, starvation, disease and environmental destruction. Have faith anyway. Like the other paradoxical commandments, this one focuses on the fundamental values we have in common as human beings.
To help us better understand the seemingly insurmountable problems we face today, Keith introduces us to the ancient prophet, Habakkuk. The story of Habakkuk reveals the prophet's struggle to understand why God seemed to ignore terrible violence and injustice during a time of crisis and danger for the ancient Hebrews 2600 years ago. Through his conversations with God, Habakkuk came to a faith and trust in God that could persevere even in the face of devastation and death. Habakkuk's poignant story is a parable that can help us to have faith even when our own world seems headed for disaster.
Using the inspirational story of Habakkuk and his struggles, we can learn to build a hopeful faith grounded in the love of God. Habakkuk showed us that whatever happens, we can have faith anyway. |

Reviews - What do customers think about Have Faith Anyway: The Vision of Habakkuk for Our Times?
 | Have Faith Anyway Nov 7, 2008 |
| This is an extremely timely book. The world is indeed in trouble, but as Dr. Keith argues, we can have faith anyway. I found the chapter comparing faith and beliefs to be very helpful. The last chapter, with its conversation between a Christian and God, is truly inspiring. | | | | Have Faith Anyway Nov 4, 2008 |
| What a great reminder of how we can choose to view life in these turbulent times. I've read the book several times, and it gets better. The book is powerful in its simplicity of reminding us that we are not the only ones who have had troubling times, and we can choose how to approach our problems. I am personally tired of the fear approach and am renewing my commitment to faith. Even though I don't understand why or how long things will be difficult, or even how to turn things around. If we profess faith, we might as well apply it. | | | | Have Faith Anyway The Vision of Habakkuk for Our times Nov 1, 2008 |
