After "I Believe"
Everyday Practices for a Vibrant Faith
About
I believe. Now what?
Faith is not a singular moment in a person's life. It is a daily reality. It can get stronger and more vibrant if we feed it. Or it can stagnate and fade if we neglect it. In fact, it's what comes after "I believe" that makes all the difference. Pastor James Emery White wants to help you become a fully devoted follower of Jesus. In this engaging book, he shows you how to grow in the faith and connect with the church.
