Advance Praise

“I could not put the book down! I could not wait to read the next story. Knowing these places, these situations, more important, these people and how their lives have been transformed made this book come alive. I know evangelism. In my work as Evangelism Specialist for the Tennessee Baptist Convention I have seen several definitions for the Great Commission work we call evangelism but none as clear and vivid as what I read and saw in the pages of “Faith Acts.”—Steve Pearson, Harvest Field Team Leader, Evangelism Specialist, Tennessee Baptist Convention

The gospel of the kingdom, that declares Christ as Lord over all, doesn't allow God's people to live this way. I'm thankful for the winsome call of Acts of Faith, which issues a necessary challenge to the church toward both courage and civility, to ask what it means to offer the world a glimpse of God's renewal of all things.”—Daniel Darling, Vice-President of Communications, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and author of several books including The Original Jesus

“Some preach. Some practice. A few do both, they practice what they preach. Jimmy and Dillon are two of those who do both and do it well. Understanding we were ALL made in the image of God, they reveal their love for God by loving people, especially people who have few to love them. They DO what the Bible tells us to do! This book should come with a WARNING. For as you read it you too will be compelled to DO what it says!”—David Nelms, President/Founder of The Timothy Initiative

“I could not put the book down! I could not wait to read the next story. Knowing these places, these situations, more important, these people and how their lives have been transformed made this book...
