Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? Another week of sleepwalking through your faith making sure nobody knows your struggling. How many of us have lost our faith, and have left the church? Are we stuck looking for happiness in a lost world? In this book, we dive into 3 easy steps to jump-start our faith. Building a foundation through healing, prayer, and service. If you are looking to break through the mundaneness of your spiritual life and be reunited with God, this book will help you become the light of the world He created you to be. When we sin we invite darkness into our lives, and with each sin we commit we add another brick to the wall we are building around our hearts. We use this wall to hide from God because of our own shame. How do we break free from this jail cell that sin has enslaved us in? How do we fight off the modern temptations of the world? How can we SHINE THROUGH THE DARKNESS?

Many of us struggle to develop a personal relationship with God. When we don't make a consistent effort in growing our knowledge, and love of Him, we can become complacent, lazy, or lost in this crazy world. We start to sleepwalk through our faith, or lose it all together. In "Shine Through The Darkness" I look at the 3 key steps to growing our relationship with God. Strengthening our spirit, and overcoming sin that only pulls us farther into the darkness. The light of the world dwells in us all, and its time to LET IT SHINE!
