Form in Them Deep Wells of Faith: An Interview with Dr. Andrew Root

In Faith in a Secular Age, Dr. Andrew Root helps readers understand why deeply rooted faith is a difficult thing to come by in our local church context. Root helps us to consider what faith is, what steps we can take to move into that faith, and connects faith with a Divine action that we can grasp onto for a fuller understanding of what faith is and what it does in our lives.
