Adventures In Naked Faith by Ross Tooley

This book was a gift from Pr Mike, given late last year. Well, he gave this book for a reason. This book was written by one of the YWAM pioneers in the Philippines, which explains why.

I am going away for an adventure of faith of my own, and this book challenged my faith in many sense, to trust God in His provision. Honestly, I cannot remember much from the book, except that Ross trusted God with his life. God did not fail even once. He delivered every time.

Ross demonstrated his faith with biblical truths, and lived his life with so much passion and obedience to the Creator. The most starkling trust is that in finances. I have lived life with so much comfort, and finances were never an issue. It's not that I have an abundant and ever-present ATM machine in the form of my parents, it's just that I have always been taught to plan my finances, for which I am grateful to my parents.

Stepping out of that assurance of knowing that I can make it through this month because of the planning is a rather untested ground. I really have no idea how this is coming into a full picture, and yet God already has been showing me bits and pieces of His goodness and provision. The finances are rolling in for my Adventure of Faith.

To God be the Glory for the things He has and is about to do.

walking in awe,
