Lean on Him When You're Not Strong
You've got a friend in God-just like Adam, Abraham, Job

LONGWOOD, FL-"Encouraging" is just one of the words used to describe Joseph Cortes's Faith Pleases God (paperback, 1-60034-855-6), a book about strengthening your faith as you tackle life's trials and tribulations. Using examples of biblical greats such as Job and Abraham, the book uncovers edifying clues about how men of God learned to lean on Him for the deliverance only He could provide.

Cortes, founder of Faith Cometh By Hearing ministry, has always had a passion to teach God's Word. He saw that mission fulfilled by studying and interning under famed theologian Dr. Gene Scott, Ph.D., for 10 years. He believes his book, the fruit of his study, will "teach people to trust and 'faith' in God's Word" and give them "a better understanding that faith pleases God." People need to know how to increase their faith, he asserts, and by reading the book they will have a clearer picture of what God is looking for from His people.

"Faithing in the Word" is a lesson Cortes uses when teaching and preaching to a worldwide audience through his ministries (via television and radio), and it plays an important part as the operating principle of the book too. In the manuscript, he declares, "His promise to us of imputed righteousness is there through Faith. Never let go of that promise andÉremember faith pleases God."

Joseph A. Cortes is an ordained minister and founder of Faith Cometh By Hearing ministry. He teaches God's Word to a worldwide audience on a weekly basis. He spent 30 years under the ministry of theologian Dr. Gene Scott, Ph.D. If you are interested in learning more about Joseph Cortes or Faith Cometh By Hearing, visit www.teachingfaith.com.
