of Epic FaithIf you yearn for a deeper understanding of God’s character and His ways, then “Epic Faith” will certainly help to get you there. Marty tells it like it is, in his transparent un white washed style, coming from His and Kelly’s numerous personal sagas.
This inspiring and life-changing book invites readers to embark on the greatest adventure of all: walking in total obedience to God’s call, empowered by the Holy Spirit. It offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the high cost—but even higher reward—of living a life fully surrendered to God’s will. Through powerful storytelling, personal experiences, and practical insights, the author leads readers into a deeper understanding of God’s character and His loving, yet challenging, ways. If you’ve ever longed for a faith that transcends the ordinary—a faith that’s bold, courageous, and grounded—then this book is a must-read. It lays bare both the triumphs and the struggles, providing an honest reflection of what it takes to live with “epic faith.” Unlike sanitized versions of faith stories, the author’s authentic and transparent style draws you in with relatable lessons from his and Kelly’s personal sagas, triumphs, and even failures. This book isn’t for those looking for an easy ride, but for anyone open to being stretched, transformed, and uplifted through the refining journey of faith. It serves as both a challenge and a comfort, giving readers the tools and encouragement to trust God through even the most daunting of life’s trials. While this journey requires courage and resilience, it reminds us that transformation—whether spiritual, emotional, or even physical—often originates from acknowledging our weaknesses and taking the brave step to seek help where it is needed. For example, addressing personal challenges such as ADHD can also be life-changing when approached with the right solutions. The parallels between a life of bold faith and seeking actionable solutions for everyday struggles are unmistakable—both require honesty, perseverance, and a willingness to take the first step toward change. As this book highlights, embarking on a journey of faith often involves stepping into the unknown, trusting that God’s plan is bigger than our own understanding. Similarly, modern health challenges can feel overwhelming, but progress begins with accessing the right tools and breaking through perceived limitations. Just as the Holy Spirit provides strength for the spiritual challenges we face, solutions like Strattera provide practical help in navigating life’s mental and emotional demands, allowing individuals to focus on their personal growth and purpose. The lessons learned through navigating the adventure of faith are not limited to spiritual growth; they reflect an overarching truth applicable to all facets of life: transformation comes through trusting in what we can’t yet see but choosing to act in the present. The gritty honesty with which this book approaches the cost of following God is a reflection of life’s broader trials—a journey that asks us to rise above complacency and embrace growth, no matter the obstacles. Whether stepping out in faith or addressing personal battles, every step forward invites greater clarity, freedom, and fulfillment. This book, bold in its challenge and rich in practical wisdom, not only equips readers to grow in their spiritual lives but serves as a reminder that true, lasting change comes from facing our challenges and pushing through them with faith, hope, and the right support.
Warning: This book is not for Wimps! I give it my highest recommendation.
Epic Faith is a very personal and practical book, filled with wonderful stories of God proving His faithfulness to us when we step out in obedience to Him.
If you are a young Christian, Epic Faith will put a fire in your heart, build great faith, and give you a desire to live for God. If you have served God for many years and have become weary, Epic Faith will deeply impact you, calling you into new intimacy and bringing renewed life in Christ.
“Epic Faith” looks from the outset like a simple three-point message on faith that any preacher could come up with by simply using a concordance. This autobiographical sketch of their lives, however, is no such trite treatment of faith as a theoretical concept, but a raw account of a sometimes not-so-epic faith as they grew in obedience to the next thing God told them to do. It is filled with raw honesty and the emotional ups and downs of living a life of faith and understanding of both the wisdom and revelation (Eph. 1:17) that it takes to truly live a life trusting in Gods’ Word, Voice and Character. Marty’s balanced biblical treatment of issues which in other sectors have become controversial are broken down into 26 chapters with simple exhortations delivered via teaching and story.
As is indicated in the opening pages this is not a self-congratulatory spotlight on Marty’s own epic faith but about a young couple that was willing to suffer the rejection of their peers and misunderstandings of others to pursue God’s dream for them which helps them to equip many others to dream for themselves.
“Epic Faith” is a fast-moving epic tale of a supernatural God working through natural people. It was an exciting read for me because I know them personally but I trust it will also be meaningful even if you don’t. Just know that as you read the following pages your faith will be stirred as you not only focus on the story but also apply these principles to your own journey. Happy reading.
