Comments from Joseph F. Girzone
Bestselling author of the Joshua series

After reading Insights, One Man's Journey, by Norman D. Sorensen, I can say that I was deeply impressed with the author's dogged persistence in pursuing a most basic facet of religion, and that is Faith. Not only did he write one chapter on Faith, but practically every chapter delves more and more deeply into the substance of faith, and its role in the life of a believer. I had the feeling that the author has a very keen mind and was not so much interested in writing the book for others to read as he was in bearing witness to his life-long search for an understanding of faith in its many different dimensions.  So many people can name precisely the year, month, day and hour when they were saved; but finding faith was not as simple as that for this author.  He had many very legitimate and haunting questions about faith and how he knew it was authentic, and was it a once and for all deal, or did faith demand a more continuous and total commitment to God, and to Jesus as Savior.  And these were not the only dimensions of  faith that concerned the author. He also struggled with a thorough investigation of the sincerity of his own commitment to what faith demanded, and faith's relationship with hope and trust, which many people fail to distinguish as very different from each other.  What makes the book interesting is that each of these questions is put in the context of the book's characters' personal struggle with these various questions.  For a reader this book is a very worthwhile experience in trying to understand the depth and sincerity of his or her own faith.
