DOWNLOAD EBOOKNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author writes a beautiful book about his life, starting with the peace and stability he enjoyed as a child and how that all fell apart when his father died. Going through one transition after another marked him permanently, which he shares in almost poetic prose. Reading the scenes feels like watching a movie, one about a man who comes to know God as his true father. Readers will also come to know and love the Great Provider as a result of reading this magnificent story. Hungry and homeless in a foreign country, Antoine Desire Ongolo experiences a long journey through the desert during which his faith is put to the test. Exhausted, he decides to turn to God in a letter that will prove lifesaving. A Letter to God is the story of an extraordinary faith that led a man out of abject misery when nothing in his situation suggested a better future. In West Africa, in the throes of suffering and doubt, the author, who now lives in the United States, wrote a letter to God, an act of unprecedented faith that changed the course of his life. This true story will renew your hope, whatever challenge you have to face. Fatherless at the age of ten, Antoine Desire Ongolo had to face life and its hardships early on in his native Cameroon. From this early suffering emerged a strength of character that enabled him to experience, with the help of God, despite everything, a definite upward social mobility: he holds a bachelor s degree in communication and a master's in business administration. On a professional level, he has had a distinguished career as a journalist in radio and television. Now gifted with an entrepreneurial vision, Antoine Desire Ongolo is currently working on several audiovisual projects.

His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?
