+ Want to read

Faith Precedes the Miracle is a collection of teachings by Spencer W. Kimball on the place of faith in a believer's life. Kimball argues that miracles tend to follow faith rather than come before it, and he illustrates the point with examples drawn from scripture and from the lives of Church members. The book is written for Latter-day Saints who want to strengthen their trust in God, and its encouraging tone is aimed at readers who feel their faith is being tested. Its focus is practical as well as doctrinal, asking readers to act on belief and to wait patiently for the blessings that follow.
