3 Have you ever noticed that some things are di f f i c u lt to put in boxes? Lamps, bicycles, plants they just don t fit easily into neatly defined packages. Faith is like that. It s impossibl e to bundle into a tidy system of rules or even a precise list of doctrines. Like a plant in a dark box, if faith is constricted too long, it will begin to w i lt. Are you ready to give your faith a breath of fresh air? If so, you ve come to the right book. Each page in Faith Outside the Lines is specially designed to e x p lore and express your faith in fresh new ways that are uniquely you. I pray that this book will refresh and inspire your soul, that you will encounter our amazing Creator God in ways that transcend borders and expand horizons. Becky List-Bergeron
