The Dynamics of Faith Book Explores: How Biblical Figures Can Model a Happy, Successful Life Feb 07, 2009
The book strongly indicates what faith does through belief rather than simlpy what faith is by common definition.
What is the best way to achieve a fulfilling and happy life? The answer, according to Adams, is outlined in the Bible itself. Using concrete examples and verses from the Bible, plus personal anecdotes, Adams aims to show how centuries old principles can help people overcome fear, grow through adversity and make tough choices. He explores how miracles can occur and why faith can create a bright future. Throughout the book, Adams highlights stories and passages about Moses, Jesus and other Biblical figures, in an effort to examine how they are the best examples people have for achieving their own goals and life purposes.

Adams believes that the Bible describes nothing less than a divine contract between human beings and God and this contract shows how to live fully in the world. He states how this contract also explains how to receive the many blessings of God and it also lays out what is expected in return. By following God's vision, Adams suggests that people can find solutions to any problem that might occur in life, whether it be searching for a new job, finding a life partner or needing a miracle for a life-threatening illness.
"An illuminating guide for Christian living based on a compelling reading of the Bible. In his intricate book, Adams tries to answer a basic but compelling question for Christians: How can Christians act on their faith? Or, put another way: What must Christians do? The author's thesis--that intangible biblical notions like belief and trust can and should be translated into actionable practices--is a simple but valuable message for the religious...The author, educated at Princeton, has a knack for clearly explaining difficult theological principles, and though his prose demands careful attention, such attention delivers real insight. Further, his reading of the Bible--though traditional--is both sensitive and comprehensive. For Adams, Christian scripture is a unified story, and he handles the text like a veteran exegete. A penetrating and pragmatic interpretation of scripture." - Kirkus Discoveries
