FEET OF FAITH: Time to cast off

This book is intended to be an encouragement and blessing to all who want to move from the confines of life dominated by material circumstances and launch out on a spiritual journey with eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). This journey is certainly not for the fainthearted. Practical help is provided in the pages of this book as the authors share highlights of their dramatic encounters with God and their ensuing steps of faith.

Like many young married couples with a growing family Cyril and Gabrielle Thomas encountered serious financial, personal and spiritual challenges before moving to Hong Kong over fifty years ago. It was a desperate cry for help to God on a sleepless, crisis-dominated night that proved to be a turning point for Cyril. Gabrielle was to have a dramatic encounter with God shortly afterwards, a transforming experience that was pivotal in restoring her faith and their marriage.

Subsequent exposure to the charismatic renewal led the couple to experience the power of the Holy Spirit and a decision to commit themselves unreservedly to a life of Christian discipleship.

Following the autobiographical description of the authors' journey of faith, the book contains a collection of prophecies given in recent years. Practical examples are then provided of how the authors implemented the spiritual principles embodied in each prophecy by sharing experiences from their journey through life. They are deeply aware that prophecies need to have practical outworking in the lives of the people to whom they have been given.

The book is a challenge to believers to embrace a radical life style, to commit to living lives of trust and obedience, to be doers and not simply hearers of the word.
