A Faith Worth Leaving

A Faith Worth Leaving Courage, Failure, and the Grace That Carries Us What are the people closest to you learning about faith by watching yours? You might not think you have much in common with seventeenth-century Scottish Covenanters. Their troubles involved kings, forbidden sermons, and the occasional knock at the door that nobody wanted to answer. Yet beneath the unfamiliar circumstances were familiar struggles: fear, pride, loyalty, costly decisions, and the distance between what they believed and how they lived. A Faith Worth Leaving* brings these courageous, complicated Christians into conversation with our own lives. Through their stories and writings, Scripture, and thoughtful reflection questions, we meet people whose convictions deserve attention—and whose imperfections remind us how deeply we all need Christ. With warmth, candor, and a little whimsy, this book explores the saint and the scoundrel within each of us. Even our best actions can carry tangled motives. Grace meets us there and calls us toward repentance, love, and ordinary faithfulness. Inside, you’ll find: - Stories and selected writings from the Scottish Covenanters. - Scripture readings that connect their struggles with our own. - Questions for personal reflection or conversation. - Space to pause, pray, and write. For anyone wondering what their life is passing on—or whether failure has already had the final word — "A Faith Worth Leaving" invites you to begin where you are. The grace we receive and the love we give can bear fruit beyond our own time.
