In his book, What Faith Isn't: And Why It Doesn't Always Do What You Want, author Mark Galli explores the true nature of faith. He argues that faith is not a blind belief in something that we cannot see. It is not a magical formula that we can use to get what we want. Rather, faith is a trust in God, even when we don't understand what he is ng.

Galli writes:

"Faith is not a feeling. It is not a belief that we can control. Faith is a gift from God. It is a grace that we receive when we open our hearts to him."

Galli's book is a challenging and thought-provoking look at the nature of faith. He does not shy away from the difficult questions, such as why bad things happen to good people and why God sometimes seems to be silent. But he ultimately offers a message of hope, reminding us that faith is not about getting what we want. It is about trusting in God, even when we don't understand his ways.

Why Faith Doesn't Always Do What We Want

There are many reasons why faith doesn't always do what we want it to. Sometimes, we simply don't have enough faith. Other times, we may be asking for something that is not in God's will. And still other times, God may have a different plan for us than we do.

It is important to remember that God is not a genie who grants our every wish. He is a loving father who wants what is best for us. Sometimes, that means giving us what we want. But other times, it means giving us what we need.

If we want to have a strong faith, we need to be willing to trust God, even when we don't understand what he is ng. We need to believe that he knows what is best for us and that he will never abandon us.

The Benefits of Faith

Despite the challenges, there are many benefits to having faith. Faith can give us hope in the midst of despair. It can give us strength when we are weak. And it can give us peace when we are troubled.

Faith can also help us to live more fulfilling lives. It can give us a sense of purpose and meaning. It can help us to connect with others and to make a difference in the world.

If you are looking for a way to deepen your faith, I encourage you to read Mark Galli's book, What Faith Isn't: And Why It Doesn't Always Do What You Want. This book will challenge your assumptions about faith and help you to develop a more mature and resilient faith.

Faith is a powerful force, but it is not a magic bullet. It does not always do what we want it to, but it can give us hope, strength, and peace. If you are looking for a way to deepen your faith, I encourage you to read Mark Galli's book, What Faith Isn't: And Why It Doesn't Always Do What You Want.
