Faith is a world-wide business. Getting people to believe drives the billions of dollars spent yearly in the advertising world. In 2017 the cost of a 30-second Super Bowl add exceeded $5 million. By 2022 they were up to $7 million! Companies buy key words on search engines that will put their names at the top of our internet explorations. Why? It’s all a part of getting someone to believe.

But what is faith? Is it really a leap in the dark? Or is it a cold, calculated choice to accept what someone claims about global warming, or Covid, or holistic medicine? And how does faith relate us to God? After all He said, without faith it is impossible to please Him. What is the stuff that pleases Him? Does everybody have it? Can everybody get it?

A little four-word sentence informs the discussion on faith in major ways. It reads faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). What does hearing refer to? And how does faith come out of it? Significant issues in every person’s relationship with God result from that rather insignificant looking sentence. In fact every facet of every relationship hinges on our ears. This book explores the importance of the ear and how faith and eternal life come from a choice to listen. It’s a process best pictured by the title, The Reach of an Empty Hand.
