 ”O Me of Little Faith”  was a wonderful read, and touched a cord, that many followers can relate of having doubt at some point of their lives. 

Light-hearted, filled with relevant scripture and encouraging,  ”O Me of Little Faith”  reminds us all of the human side of following our Heavenly Father. 

What I enjoyed most, other than the cute cover, was the reminder, of how, many of us, at some point and time of our lives, have those moments of doubt and how it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but often the moment, we often need, to motivate us toward re-examining and having a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father. 

 ”O Me of Little Faith”  is worth taking the time to visit the author’s website and discovering more about the writer behind, “O Me of Little Faith“ . 

When asked about what influenced him to write, “O Me of Little Faith“, Jason shared the following in an interview that was shared: 

Where did you get the idea for the book?
I was tasked with giving a sermon at my church a few years ago (occasionally I fill in for our pastor), and the best place to start when preparing a sermon is the question: What is God teaching me right now? And I discovered that I didn’t have an answer to that question. God wasn’t really teaching me anything. In fact, God seemed pretty absent from my life altogether. So for that sermon, I ended up speaking very transparently about doubt, and how there were times I struggled to believe in God. Based on the comments afterward, I found that a lot of people struggled with the same thing — only none of us ever felt like doubt was something we could safely address in church. We all hid our doubts behind a mask of faith and pretended we had it all together. So I thought it would be worthwhile to open up about my doubts and explain how I’m learning to deal with them — if only to let other doubters know they’re not alone. I wanted it to be an encouraging book, because the valley of doubt is a lonely place to be.
What intrigued me was what Jason had to say when asked, “What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

His reply was: 

That it’s not the end of the world to experience doubt as a Christian — even the really scary “does God even exist?” kind of doubt. That your faith can not only withstand doubt, but can even be strengthened by it. And that, as a doubter, you are not alone.
 

 ”O Me of Little Faith” does just that and reminds us, the follower, that we’re not alone. Even Thomas doubted. Moses hesitated, but what matters is we don’t move back, but keep moving forward, toward our Heavenly Father.
