"Not By Sight: A Fresh Look At Old Stories of Walking By Faith" takes readers directly inside scriptural narrative and offers them a front row seat of observation.Bloom writes: "The purpose of this little book is to imaginatively reflect on the real experiences of real people in the Bible in order to help you grasp and live what it means to "trust in the LORD with all your heart, and...not lean on your own understanding." Its goal is to help you believe in Jesus while living in a very confusing and painful world (pg. 18)."Who's it written for?As Bloom stated, his goal is to help you believe. "...believing in Jesus is very difficult...Because of this, it is crucial that followers of Jesus learn to "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7). In other words, we must learn to trust God's promises more than we trust our perceptions (p.17-18)." You, the searching, the new Christian, or the old Christian. It is for any of you.In the glowing forward written by friend and ministry partner John Piper, Piper writes:"New Christians or old Christians, what we need in order to walk by faith and not by sight is glimpses. I know that sounds contradictory. We need sight not to walk by sight? But it's not contradictory, because the sight we need is not a sight of what the day holds, but a sight of who holds the day (p.14)."Readers in every stage of faith should benefit from Bloom's book, as we all need to be confronted regularly by scripture's stories of faith. God placed these stories throughout His word to challenge, encourage, convict, and sanctify us. The book of Hebrews underscores the need for constant reminder of the faithful saints that have gone before us.
