Faith was the king of the jungle in Castle’s house, and his faith never backed down. He stood nose to nose, toenail to toenail, eyeball to eyeball, to doubt and fear, and screamed without abandon, “I believe God. He has never failed me yet.” Castle had that kind of faith, and it was tested many times.
His faith never waffled or wavered regardless of the circumstances. While others would not believe God in the midst of their circumstances, he would. The song entitled If Jesus Said It, I Believe It, His Word Cannot Lie was his mantra. It served him well right up until the moment he drew his last breath.

Faith is something that everyone should have. Faith isn’t something that you can just throw away and expect to get it back in the future easily. No, faith is something that can't be gained easily once lost. In the book Night, a boy named Elie starts to lose faith as days pass while he is in the concentration camp. He loses faith in himself, and others. Elie losing faith could be a really bad thing that could’ve resulted in him harming himself.
“Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns” (Anne Lamott Quotes). Unbroken, book by Laura Hillenbrand, shows the truthful of this quote. The novel is about Olympic runner and hero of the war Louie Zamperini. He survived a lot of inhuman and cruel harassments during WWII, simply believing and hoping for better times and victory of his country. By Louie’s example, author shows how faith can help to survive even in the most hopeless, wild, terrible, difficult and hard situations that can face people during their lives.

Faithful Doubt In the memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, uses many literary techniques to describe his hard times through the Holocaust. He has hard times of not knowing what to do, whether he wants to live or give up. He does not know when to continue through the hard times when he almost has to have his foot lanced or when his father got sick as to whether he should take his fathers ration of bread. A verse from the bible states “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

“Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.” Whether provoked by doctor’s grim diagnosis or inspired by something else, these words of Flannery O’Connor are a good example of how one should always follow this rule in order to meet their expectations of life. However, it is in our human nature to think, dream, and imagine things that are far from our knowledge. O’Connor’s “Good Country People” tells the story of Hulga, a girl with an artificial leg who loses it after blindly believing the lies of astute Manley Pointer, a Bible salesman. Using the example of Hulga, “Good Country People” proves how unrealistic expectations can lead to unhappiness and dissatisfaction. This happens because faith does not play a role
Defined as a complete trust in people, faith prevails as an essential quality for the development of interpersonal and personal connections. Accordingly, John Brehm, author of “Sea of Faith,” illustrates a scholar experience in a freshman class. A teacher, which the reader implies as Brehm himself, becomes irritated at the lack of knowledge in his students at such a simple topic: figurative language. Disgruntled at the question he begins to examine the significance behind it. Ultimately, after self-examination, he comes to understand the young lady who posed the question that annoyed him (1000). Through the use of literary devices such as personification, tone, and comparison: the author illustrates the changing perspective and ultimate connection the teacher makes with the students as he realizes the positivity that arises from faith.

Chapter 2 discusses faith as visualization of, and belief in attainment of desire. It goes on to discuss faith as another word for "Absolute Confidence." When a person has faith in his beliefs then one can say that half of the battle to acquire success is won.

Knowing how to develop faith is a method by which it does not already exist is very difficult to describe. Faith is a state of mind, which may be developed at, will after the thirteen principles, which can be mastered in this book.
One of my favorite parts about my granddad particularly was how he always had something inspiring to say to me every day to keep me going. Sometimes it feels like he’s still inspiring me today while in heaven. I believe I would be struggling more if I didn’t have him around when I was little. He was the only father that was there for me when needed most. I miss him all the time, but
