Faith is neither static nor instantaneous. It is not something we stumble upon and instantly understand. Neither is it a monolithic, one-dimensional, singular entity that has but one face, one color, one fragrance. It is many-faceted, multi-dimensional, and appears differently depending on one's angle to the Son. In Finding Faith in Slow Motion, Damon Gray examines faith from myriad angles and through gut-wrenching life experiences, as he asks regarding faith, "What is that stuff?" Spanning the emotional gamut from laughter to tears, Gray challenges us to define our faith and redefine it, to look at it from a multitude of perspectives and define it again. The writing is intentionally evocative and playful, offering the reader the ability to identify with Gray as he wrestles with the weighty subject matter of finding faith.

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth... The Creed is the bones of our faith. In all our different ways, it makes us who we are. But when we stand up and recite the Creed in unison, we have no time to contemplate what it is that we are committing ourselves to. The words rush past, their meaning blurred by familiarity. If we could only slow them down and hear them properly, they would have the power to change worlds. That is what The Creed in Slow Motion aims to do. This is a book for people who like to think things through from first principles. It will not tell you what to believe. (It is for you to engage your mind and discover that for yourself. And for unbelievers to learn what exactly they disbelieve, and why.) In forty short chapters, with clarity and wit, The Creed in Slow Motion draws examples from real-life stories, history and even science to uncover the core claims of Christianity. By turns it is deep, heartening, startling, revolutionary and even, by the world's standards, outrageous.

Jesus was not in a hurry. He had only three years of public ministry—three years to heal and teach and change the world—but the Bible never tells us he was rushing through them. We are the ones who rush through them. Catching the gist of this parable. Smiling at the punch line in that dialogue. We can race through the Gospels in hours, fully briefed on Christ’s life, but hardly changed. Until we sit down with Mike Nappa’s God in Slow Motion. Nappa hasn’t carved up the Gospels for quick review or sliced them into tiny pieces for academic study. He has taken ten important moments from the life of Christ and reveled in them, chewing on their words, relating them to life, comparing them with modern culture, allowing the Spirit to work, and letting Christ change him. The result is a rich, personal, and biblical narrative about Jesus and how His purposes unfold, then and now. See how God is sneaky about his glory. How he presents evidence for belief. How he can be comforting and terrifying at once. This is the “good news” in all its many-splendored wonder: the life of Christ, frame by frame. And it is worth every minute because it will change you too.

“This book is essential carry-on luggage for traveling through hard times . . . [It] will bring you comfort, challenge you, and give you inspiration.” —Traci Brown, author of Persuasion Point Struggle is the great equalizer. At one time or another, every person will experience some type of challenge that will leave them lingering between a struggle they are facing and a solution that they are waiting on. This in-between place is called the gap. Gaps do not discriminate. People from all ages, income brackets, genders, positions of power, levels of education, backgrounds and ethnicities are going to travel through the gaps at some point. These seasons of struggle can either push individuals away from God or draw them closer to Him. God of the Gaps challenges people with and without a prior link to God’s heart to recognize His presence in their gaps and His desire to connect with them during these times of questions, doubts, hurts, and emotions. “God of the Gaps pulls the rug from beneath certain Christian platitudes that often plague works about suffering and leave the reader to wrestle as they try to find God in their ‘gaps’ . . . a must-read for anyone who is struggling to find the light of God in dark places.” —Ally Henny, Vice President, The Witness: A Black Christian Collective “I am grateful to Christie Love for sharing her gap lessons with courage, vulnerability, and a good dose of scriptural insight. For all in ‘the gap’ here is help and hope!” —Elisa Morgan, Speaker, Author, Co-Host of Discover the Word and God Hears Her

Here it is; I wrote these three words when I began to journal on my quest to find God in my life. Sometimes we question God's existence when things get hard and we begin to doubt our level of faith. My goal was to find Him active in the victories, as well as, in the defeats while trying to understand the role He plays. Along th eway, I began to discover and recognize the saves He extends to us all and the importance of using them for good. My hope is that you journal through the pages in discovering your level of faith and begin to recognize the saves given. It's bringing the spotlight on God as you grow in your faith; you begin to see Him in a different way. It was a simple question of me asking if He could see little 'ole me just standing in the road. And, what I found is, He did.

"'Science Mike' draws on his personal experience to tell the unlikely story of how science led him back to faith. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray, how fundamentalism affects the psyche, and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us"--Dust jacket flap.
