5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Spiritual Guidance for the Struggling Believer, August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Combat Faith (Paperback)

In Combat Faith, clearly the author's finest effort of his prolific career, Hal Lindsey has produced the ultimate work that clearly illuminates the historical and spiritual connections between the Old and the New Testaments. Those of the Jewish faith should read it not only as an aid to help them understand their own faith better, but also with the purpose of gaining greater understanding regarding the question of why Christians place such a high value on the Old Testament. And believers in the New Testament will find themselves challenged and refreshingly inspired to renew their commitment to their faith and journey with God, which is no small feat in our day and age. Yet Hal Lindsey has done all of this here with explosive agility and humility. No amount of hyperbole is needed to convey the value of this book-a mere sampling of the various chapters will transport the reader on a journey that takes him from the arid desert of Sinai where a group of 3 million wanderers struggle to believe in a God who has proven His love for them significantly to a man who's death on a cross 2,000 years ago solidifed, once and for all time, that the same God is just as concerned and committed to all of His creation. Combat Faith offers more than merely an elucidation of the oft-pondered and plundered subject of faith; it is virtually a how-to manual that shows, through example after enlightening example, the specific steps that should be taken in order to have the most profound and fulfilling experience with the Creator of the Universe. It's an adventure that will stay with you forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book gets to what is essential in our walk with God, August 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Combat Faith (Paperback)

This book in the stylings of Lindsay has to be his best. It teaches apart from anything else what is needed by us, and what is wanted by our God. Total faith and dependency on him. Lean on him, despite of what we see. God said" he would not leave nor forsake us." he did not say everything would always be pleasant. take hold of this faith, find the biggest Goliath in your life. And slay it by the confession of your faith, and the power of our Almighty father.

This review is from: Combat Faith (Audio Cassette)

"The issue of faith pervades every aspect of our relationship with God and our service for Him," writes Hal Lindsey. Faith is given to us to be used and this book helps you to use it effectively. Consider Lindsey's comments on Hebrews 11:11 "By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered Him faithful who had made the promise." Lindsey notes, "The more we learn about God, the more we become certain of the things for which we hope." He says our confidence in God grows as we know Him better. He goes on to add that learning about God is a result of spending time with Him.

His discussion on the faith and works issue is helpful. Along similar lines he talks about resting from works and not being subject to the law.

On the Providence of God: "God never allows anything to happen in a beliver's life by accident." While on that subject he mentions that God's power is released when we realize we are helpless on our own to bring about God's will. As most experienced Christians realize, "Sometimes God's leading for our life doesn't make sense at all from the human viewpoint." As one reads the Bible, one sees this has historically been the case, but God's ways are higher than our ways and he knows what is best.

This book promotes God dependency, not man self-sufficency. It achieves the goal of the author, i.e., it teaches you how to use the gift of faith God has given you.
