Summary

The essence of walking by faith should encompass all phases of life - a lesson that even the disciples had to learn! In this book, Dr. Seavers, looks at eleven recorded events in the Gospels that Jesus used to mold and mature the disciples to be men of faith. Each chapter examines one of these eleven events and looks at the relationship between that event and preceding events.

As a statistician and expert in patters in data, Seaver connects the events as well as Jesus methods and timing in a unique and insightful way. This in depth look at faith as revealed in the Gospels will help you evaluate and grow your own faith journey. This book includes study questions and thoughtful reflections for individuals or groups.
