DESCRIPTION:
She draws us near to the brokenness in our own hearts. "Her words chosen with exquisite grace, Shauna Letellier does something remarkable--she draws us near to the broken hearts that drew Jesus. Then she does something even more remarkable. The most remarkable thing she does, though, is to draw us near to Jesus, showing how eager he is to bring healing and wholeness--not just to their hearts but to ours."
. These eight inspiring vignettes weave history, theology, and fictional detail into their biblical accounts to bring relief and a new perspective to those whose faith feels unremarkable. Written to encourage and relieve discouraged Christians who wonder if their faith is a disappointment to God, this book will demonstrate that remarkable faith-the kind Jesus marveled about-isn't about achieving or performing. This collection of inspirational vignettes, based on eight of the Bible's unlikely examples of faith, will give readers a fresh intimacy with Jesus.REMARKABLE FAITH tells the stories of people whose faith was of such quality that Jesus himself marveled at it-people who were broken, needy, and dependent. Readers will discover they can exchange their performance-based evaluation of their faith with a fresh, life-giving intimacy with the Jesus who delights in transforming inadequacies into irrepressible affection

Broken, sickly, needy, ordinary and not so ordinary people, who exhibited extraordinary faith. Shauna retells the stories of the following people in the Bible: the father of a demon-possessed boy, the paralyzed man, the Roman Centurion, the hemorr. Janelle said I loved this book. I loved this book. Working through eight stories from the Bible, Shauna wrote to show that God works creatively in each willing person to bring them to faith through Jesus. Each chapter has a scripture reference and closing thoughts. However, the strength of her book lies in her creative way to bring these Bible stories to life. After quoting the Scripture, Shauna transports the reader back in time to when Jesus walked this Earth. She
