Synopsis

"As we shall see, these saints were flesh-and-blood human beings with real problems. They were sometimes wounded in their respective journeys through life. But because of the way they dealt with pain, by definition they became heroes of the faith. They were found faithful."    — Elizabeth R. Skoglund
 
Found Faithful shares the timeless stories of eight men and women who, despite hardship, remained true to God and His calling on their lives. We often look at "heroes of the faith" with awe and assume they have a connection to God that we could never have. Yet, they are just people like everybody else who experience real, everyday struggles. You will be encouraged by their steady faith and endurance through difficult times. Be inspired by these courageous Christ-followers so that you can press on during your times of struggle.
 
Found Faithful highlights the lives of:
F.B. Meyer
Amy Carmichael
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Hudson Taylor
Geraldine Taylor
Isobel Kuhn
C.S. Lewis
Ruth Bell Graham

From the Back Cover

Do you ever wonder how you can keep pressing on when so many obstacles get in your way? Do you need a word of encouragement? Then here's a book for you. Read about the trials and tribulations of eight heroes of the faith: C. S. Lewis, Ruth Bell Graham, Charles Spurgeon, Amy Carmichael, and others, plus ten vignettes of individuals such as Andrew Murray and Dwight L. Moody. These men and women have inspired us as spiritual giants; yet when you read Found Faithful, you'll discover that they had real struggles with physical, spiritual, and emotional hurdles. Recounting these ordeals, the author helps you find them to be real people, accessible, inspirational, and thoroughly faithful to Christ.

“Found Faithful reminded me again and again of God’s mercy and kindness. . . . This book will give you a fresh perspective and will encourage you to worship Him all over again.” – Ruth Bell Graham

“I was deeply blessed by these biographical sketches of authentic saints, together with excerpts from their writings and Skoglund’s insightful comments. Here we have the crème de la crème of devotional literature.” – Vernon Grounds

“In a day of Christian-lite celebrities and skin-deep theology, Found Faithful is a salutary reminder―not only of a more faithful evangelicalism but of the deep realism of the gospel that touches our sharpest pain as well as our highest joy.” – Os Guinness, author of The Call
