In the Footsteps of Faith
Overview
Although some of the standards by which we should live seem impossible, God not only gave us principles to live by, but also provided us with examples to follow. Dr. MacArthur examines the lives of faithful men and women, showing that a life of faith and victory-a godly life-is more than possible-it’s a reality.
