Faith for Life: Inspiration from the Ordinary Heroes of Hebrews 11

“After over 30 years in Christian ministry, Richard Coekin understands the Bible, his local church and the culture, and he sees the need for Christians to internalize the great chapter on faith, Hebrews 11, in order to have the resilience they'll need in a culture that is increasingly hostile. An incredibly timely book.”

“This is a book written to encourage and refresh. It does that, but also much more. By stepping us through the pastorally rich drama of Hebrews 11, this book has the power to transform and change a life—in a good way! It is the product of decades of teaching the Bible to real people dealing with real issues in a real world. It is engaging, pastorally sensitive, thoughtful, provocative, and timely. Just what we need.”

“Christians in the secular west are now a small minority facing cultural marginalisation and increasing opposition. Richard Coekin shows us that the urgent need of the hour is for ordinary Christians to be ‘ordinary heroes’ who stand firm in our faith, with confident trust in God’s promises, so that we continue to serve the Lord Jesus courageously as we await the consummation of our salvation. Combining clear explanation of the biblical text with warm-hearted pastoral application and extensive illustration from history and personal experience, this timely and accessible book will inspire and encourage Christians everywhere to persevere in their marathon race to future glory. Above all it exhorts us to fix our eyes on the Lord Jesus, who is the only hero who can save us, and who has set us the supreme example to follow.”
