Grow in Faith by Colin Smith

Everyone longs for hope. Everyone needs love. And everyone needs something–or someone–to believe in. The Christian life is marked by three enduring gifts—faith, hope, and love. In Grow in Faith, you’ll spend 30 days learning to trust God more deeply, anchoring your heart in His promises and strengthening your confidence in Him each day. This book can be read on its own or alongside Grow in Hope and Grow in Love as part of a devotional journey through the enduring gifts of faith, hope, and love.
