Description
Advance Praise
"In Finding Favor, Brian Jones uncovers a treasure trove of God's favor for his people. Sometimes we wonder if God really wants to give us his favor—his supernatural intervention bringing blessing into our lives. But Brian makes sure we know that closed doors and sweeping floors—and a host of other things—are all in the realm of God's favor for us. Friends, do yourself a favor and read this book."
-Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan and Grace is Greater
"You've prayed for God's blessings. But what are you really asking for? How does God really bless us? In this eye-opening book, Brian Jones shares the answer in his engaging, straightforward, and incredibly practical style. It's a must-read for anyone wanting God's favor."
-Vince Antonucci, pastor of Verve Church and author of God for the Rest of Us
"Do you want God's favor? I'm sure you do, because we all do. But none of us desires the struggle or pain that's experienced along the way. In Finding Favor Brian Jones helps us understand that God longs to give us his favor, but not before he makes us take a long hard look at ourselves."
-Caleb Kaltenbach, author of Messy Grace and God of Tomorrow
"I'm old enough to be able to look back at a significant portion of my life and see the favor of God. One thing is obvious—it was not at all how I thought it would be. In Finding Favor Brian will help you to understand that the key word in the term 'favor of God' is 'God.' It's an excellent look at how God blesses us in ways that are best for us rather than just writing us a check. We all desire our Father's favor. Brian will help you understand it."
-Tim Harlow, senior pastor, Parkview Christian Church, Orland Park, Illinois
"In thirty years of ministry, I’ve been enthralled by the glorious, unmerited favor of God that I’ve seen on display in the lives of countless saints. In those same thirty years, I’ve also been undone by the sorrows and sufferings of the beloved. Can the people of God face trouble in the world and still know themselves to be highly favored? Brian Jones’s Finding Favorconvincingly, winsomely cries, yes! In Jones’s inspirational new work, readers discover themselves highly favored in Christ whether on the mountaintop or in the valley."
-Alan D. Wright, senior pastor of Reynolda Church, Winston-Salem, NC, and author of Free Yourself, Be Yourself

Kenson G, Reviewer
We are used to talking about God's favor, and many times we relate this term "favor" with good things, optimal health and a lot of happiness. However, we rarely reflect on what Brian Jones proposes in this book. The favor of God can manifest itself in a limitation, in an illness, in an answered prayer, in an intervention of the grace of the Lord.
The favor of God is a deep subject but the author explains us not in a technical way but in a practical and friendly way. It is their experiences, struggles and thoughts that help us identify our own search for God's favor.
The book is divided into 10 chapters that deal with issues such as problems, diseases, God's provision and how in all this we can see the favor of God.
Some phrases that impacted are:
"For those who believe in Jesus Christ there is no death and no sorrow that is no mixed with hope"
"Obscurity is a sign of God's favor, not a sign of his anger"
"We need to understand that something he does gives us exactly what we want"
I recommend this book for all those who have a difficult and stormy season. You will discover that the favor of God is within your reach in Christ Jesus.
Thanks to IVP for the digital copy of this book.
