Big God - what happens when we Trust Him?


Now here is a book that I would highly recommend every believer in Jesus Christ to make sure to buy and to read! Big God is a book written by Pastor Britt Merrick from Reality Carpinteria.

While we were in California visiting our family, Rebecca and I had the opportunity to get away and spend some one on one time with each other up in Santa Barbara, which was such a blessing! During our time there we went to Reality Carp on Palm Sunday morning. We couldn't wait to go and see all that the Lord is doing in and through Reality! On that Sunday, we picked up this book and I (Joey) began to read it!

The book is based on the lives recorded in Hebrews chapter 11 known as "The Hall of Faith." In this book, Britt takes a look at the men and women listed there in Hebrews 11 and begins to show us how they were able to overcome all the difficulties and obstacles that they faced. How did they overcome these obstacles? By their faith in a very BIG GOD! Something that I love about this book is how it was laid out. He is a brief picture of the book:

  • When My Heart is Overwhelmed
  • The Hall of Faith?
  • Faith Worshiping (Abel)
  • Faith Walking (Enoch)
  • Faith Working (Noah)
  • Faith Willing (Abraham)
  • Faith Waiting (Sarah)
  • Faith Well-Tried (Abraham with Isaac)
  • Faith Winning (Moses)
  • Faith Welcoming (Rahab)
  • Faith Warring (David & the others)
This book is actually based originally that Pastor Britt taught to his congregation while he was teaching through Hebrews 11. I personally have listened to all of these studies and would also highly recommend each of you to listen to them as well. To listen to them, click here.

I don't want to get into any details with you on it, because I don't want to ruin it for you! Once again, I highly recommend you listen to these message and buy this book and read it! I do believe that the Lord will use it in your life to challenge you in your walk with Him and challenge you in your FAITH and TRUST that you have in Him!

BIG GOD - get it!
