Book excerpt: "How can you say God is faithful?" I asked Mindy. For in one week, she lost her mother, boyfriend, job, and roommate. Then, among several other crises, counseling revealed her stepfather had molested her as a young child. Mindy's cumulative Holmes-Rahe score for stress easily exceeded 100. Yet with peaceful hope in her voice she answered, "Because He is."Everyone, though perhaps less dramatically, faces tragedies. And Mindy, through hers, taught me that how one perseveres through them depends a great deal on one's perspective-what one believes. Mindy knew she wasn't alone, because she understood that no matter what happened, God was with her. She knew it within her very core of being-her faith was unshakeable.Mindy didn't give a particular reason for her faith. Apparently, over time God had proven Himself in the small things. Great faith doesn't necessarily come from one awe-inspiring event, but through a multitude of little lessons learned along the way.However, even though many find inspiration in the lives of others; most, also, require objective evidence. Indeed, this type of evidence continues to grow with numerous discoveries regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls, history, astronomy, and archeology, among others. Thus, this book examines how this information can help forge the kind of faith Mindy has-the unshakeable kind.
