Finding My Faith
My hope is that this book will aid you on your journey to find and strengthen your faith. The Devil is real and powerful. Our one hope of defeating him is through our faith in Jesus Christ. I pray no matter where you find yourself on your spiritual path, you can consider yourself stronger in your faith by the end of these pages. God bless you on your journey.-Kevin Harrington
