The Faithful Way: Remaining Steadfast in an Uncertain World

In The Faithful Way, treasured Bible-study teacher Cynthia Heald challenges believers of all ages to remain faithful to guard their hearts and be on the alert against temptation. Our goal, no matter our age, should be to follow Christ well and finish strong. The Faithful Way is a 31-day devotional study that both cautions and comforts as Cynthia leads readers through the lessons God has taught her through His character, His Word, and His saints. The Faithful Way will equip readers to face temptations, encourage them in an intentionally faithful life that brings honor to Christ, and enable them to say “I have remained faithful.” Review Heald (Becoming A Woman of Prayer) offers tips on remaining faithful in this comprehensive daily Bible study. “Faithfulness begins with ardent love for the Lord and fervent determination to fling ourselves in reckless confidence on God,” she writes. With each of the 31 chapters designated to correspond to a day of the month, she offers examples of both faithful and unfaithful saints, shares how she has experienced God’s love, stresses the importance of trusting God through one’s obedience, and discusses how to blend grace and discipline, what the hard work of forgiveness takes, and what to do in the face of unfaithfulness. Heald also provides guidelines for guarding against temptation and encourages Christians to be strengthened by pursuing “like-hearted fellowship.” She compares those desiring to be faithful in their journey toward God to athletes, as the work of both requires discipline, hard work, and focus. Each devotional includes scriptural references, questions for personal reflection, and a closing prayer. Heald’s instructional study guide will caution, challenge, and comfort Christians whose goal is to be able to say, as Heald does, “I have remained faithful.” Publishers Weekly Review Each day of this thirty-one-day devotional will challenge you to explore the Word, learn to live faithfully, and remain faithful.
