THE SHUNAMMITE: A Faith that Pleases God
“And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman…” (2 Kings 4:8 KJV).
What did God see in the Shunammite woman that compelled Him to recognize her as “great”? Her story provides powerful lessons for every believer seeking a closer walk with God and a deeper understanding of faith. This insightful book sets out to discover why God chose to share her story and how her life exemplifies the kind of faith that pleases Him.
The Shunammite woman’s actions demonstrate that when you have the faith to believe God, He will release the power needed to move mountains and to move in the trials of your own life. Drawing on Hebrews 11:1, the book explores the four key words of true belief: FAITH, SUBSTANCE, HOPE, AND EVIDENCE. You will learn to apply these definitions to gain a better knowledge of faith in your own life.
