Faith It Till You Make It

Book excerpt: Since September 11, 2001, there has been a resurgence of people seeking comfort and solace and searching to define or redefine their faith. Reverend Monserrat maintains that this is quite possible, since faith is not a quality of mind or personality, but a skill that can be learned. In Faith It Until You Make It, he shows readers how to develop their faith so that they can overcome any adversity and accomplish their dreams. Based upon years in the church, Reverend Monserrat has developed this nondenominational book of practical spirituality based upon an Evolution of Faith Matrix which shows the four stages of faith: Natural, Lost, Educated and Enlightened. Using inspiring and provocative stories from other people who have discovered or regained their faith, he devotes a chapter to each stage, showing readers how to work their way through their own matrix to develop an enlightened faith, regardless of their past or issues they're confronting in the present. In addition to practical exercises in each chapter, Reverend Monserrat explains how to develop a lifestyle of faith-building; how to develop a personal faith philosophy; what to do when faith is lost; how to learn through intuition and wisdom; and how to live and enjoy life's goodness.
