Faith in Action

FOREWORD

This book “Faith in Action” presents information based on the works by numerous personalities including philosophers, researchers, Biblical references, and personal experience of the author.

The content covered manifests scholarly in-depth effort that presents the readership the opportunity to engage in self-reflection in order to make any appropriate choices. This could be in terms of conducting further research or embracing the aspects the individual may find acceptable; Tonny’s views bring out his personality as an individual on search of intellectual excellence. The views presented leave the reader the obligation to test out the principles of sharpening one’s faith. The style of writing applying humor on the scenes of his personal experience leave an inscribed portion of memory that makes learning natural and enjoyable.

Some of the practical aspects covered border on putting faith in action, overcoming fear, working on faith through acts of love; faith and developing a positive mindset; faith and the obligation of work; and the concept of reason and faith. My personal observation on faith as a Christian hinges on Biblical Authority which features clearly that “through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3. This provides a framework of assigning accountability for our beliefs, actions, and entire being to God which includes putting to action our divinely- ordained gifts to serve mankind and God. Faith also prepares us to manage the risks and odds of life.

 “Faith in action” as a piece of work will equip the reader with the capability to critique, refine and reshape personal views and those of others which is an excellent way of inculcating the character traits of tolerating others’ opinions, no matter how much they differ from own philosophy. In the end both the author and reader evolve learning capabilities which influences the choices we make, the philosophy we adopt, and the mindset we embrace for an enhanced lifestyle.

Read on and please live to share your feedback.

PREFACE

Overcoming doubts in yourself

You cannot read this book and stay the same. Overcoming fear is the preliminary step you need to take before you embrace the level of growing into faith. There are different levels of faith, which put together combine to form a platform for Trust, the great inhibition destroyer that will pave your way to success.

A religious book; it isn’t. You will need to read this book before you are quite sure you are ready to walk into your next phase of thinking. A new level of reality and dynamism that make yesterday’s obstacles look so obscure, all things are possible.

Buddhism is quoted, as are principles from the Christian practice of faith. You will need both as you head into a transcendental realization of the connection between your cherished goals and reality as it presents itself today. Use what you have to get what you do not have. The stone in your hand, however small, can kill that Goliath. The connector is Faith, in yourself first, that you can do it.

Nature is fashioned to help only those who believe. You only do yourself a disservice by embracing non-faith, or fear as it is commonly known.

It is the greatest enemy of all time. Yet it will rule over you if you embrace it. You can conquer nations if you remove these inhibitions that prevented anyone in your clan from ever starting a successful enterprise that crossed the border.

Today you have a prescription in your hand. Tonny, an enthusiastic thinker, mental  coach and entrepreneur in his own right, shares from the deepest recesses of his own being. Embrace, imbibe, partake. This work is powerful. You can never be the same again after partaking of it.

I recommend it highly for all aspirants of success in this life – sport, business, family, relationships, academics or religion. Resort to its methods recommended therein and you will be a great influencer of change, regardless of your sphere. Pick it up. Now.
