Sooner or later, sometime in your life you will endure pain and disappointment. Author Janet Smith believes that finding your deep Faith and giving it all to God will get you through. She says that Faith is not only a word or a belief and it is more than a feeling. Through the pain and disappointments of life, finding Faith at your lowest moments can put you back up on top of your life.
In Finding Deeper Faith, the author explains that, though dreams can be lost and life is full of disappointment and pain, finding your scripture can carry you through. After Smith's twenty plus years of cancer, chemo, doctors, surgeries, and life's lows, she believes that God will carry you through if you only have Faith. She is thankful for doctors who love their practice and who do research on new treatments, the doctors who listen to your complaints and feelings and want the same outcome as you.
The reader will find how Smith's doctors, family, and Faith turned her life around and gave her the feeling that God will carry her on, leading the way forward.
