A Torrent of Faith

Meer over het boek

Paul Langdon is a struggling real estate broker. By nature, he is a cautious man, adverse to taking risks. While scouting out a tract of land, Paul loses his way in the woods. After wandering helplessly for several days, he is saved by the interventions of a wolf - except there are no wolves in upstate New York. As a lukewarm Christian, Paul discovers that his miraculous encounter has challenged his faith in God. Two additional miracles, each more compelling than the last, combine to strengthen his spiritual devotion. Then Paul and his wife, Rachel, are devastated to learn that their eight-year-old daughter has Lascaux Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Within eighteen months, Alicia's immune system will begin attacking her heart. She will not survive. Even though fully expecting another miracle, Paul resolves to do everything in his power to see his daughter healed. Yet, his effort are thwarted at every turn. Even the experimental therapy that might offer a glimmer of hope is denied to Alicia for technical reasons. At length, Paul realizes he is out of options. He has reached the limits of his own abilities. This story explores the nuances of genuine faith, and in light of God's sovereignty, what trusting in Him truly entails.
