Overview

This important rooted and readable book is about the living character of human faith. Crucially, personal 'faith' is not portrayed as some sort of 'once-off' acquisition of a ready-packaged creed or secular belief system. Rather, seeds of faith actually tend to grow, change, indeed 'evolve' through particular stages during the human life-course. These relatively unknown stages are the main platform for David Bick's text. Facing all of us with fundamentals of our human character, this book provides food for the soul in all seasons of life, from teens to old age.
