Dans la Bible, beaucoup ont choisi, en dépit des circonstances, de placer leur confiance en Dieu. L’auteur s’inspire de plusieurs d’entre eux à travers 34 méditations. Il imagine leurs raisonnements face aux doutes et aux difficultés de la vie. Avec beaucoup de talent, il apporte du relief à la personnalité de ces hommes et de ces femmes, pour leur donner vie, les rendre accessibles et proches de nos questionnements. Il n’a qu’un désir: que vous puissiez, vous aussi, être encouragé à croire en Jésus même quand tout s’y oppose.

This scorching collection from award-winning author Thom Jones features his best new short fiction alongside a selection of outstanding stories from three previous books. Jones's stories are full of high-octane, prose-drunk entertainment. His characters are grifters and drifters, rogues and ne'er-do-wells, would-be do-gooders whose human frailties usually get the better of them. Some are lovable, others are not, but each has an indelible and irresistible voice. They include Vietnam soldiers, amateur boxers, and veterans of the psych ward, and more.

Trusting Jesus is hard. It requires following the unseen into an unknown and believing Jesus' words over and against the threats we see or the fears we feel. Through the imaginative retelling of 35 Bible stories, Not by Sight gives us glimpses of what it means to walk by faith, counsel for how to trust God's promises more than our perceptions, and the way to find rest in the faithfulness of God.

We plead for God's deliverance from our pain and wonder why he keeps letting it go on. We are not alone. A cloud of witnesses surrounds us, and they help us understand. In these 35 creative retellings of Bible stories, Jon Bloom explores the hope and joy that Abraham, Moses, Naomi, John the Baptist, and others experienced in the painful process of discovering that God's promises really are more trustworthy than our perceptions.
