Vår måste-se-det-för-att-tro-det-generation har svårt för att utöva verklig tro – en tro som tar initiativ, kliver ut på vattnet och får se berg flytta på sig. Många av oss tar hellre det säkra före det osäkra och står kvar på åskådarplats, men det är den galna tron som gör att vi får se Gud verka och förverkliga sina löften. I den här boken visar pastor Michael Todd hur du går i tro och kastar dig ut i ett meningsfullt liv där du tror Gud om det omöjliga. Även om du måste börja med babytro eller kansketro, kan du få kraft att släppa taget om den lata tron, lita på Gud när tron känns suddig och otydlig, och utveckla en livsstil präglad av galen tro. Drömmen som Gud har gett dig kanske verkar galen just nu. Men det som framstår som galet i en tid, kommer att räknas som tro i en annan. Det är bara galet tills det händer. Michael Todd som även skrivit bästsäljaren Relationship Goals, är huvudpastor för Transformation Church i Tulsa, Oklahoma. Det som driver honom i hans tjänst är passionen och visionen att presentera Gud på ett sätt som gör att både de vilsna och de som hittat hem till Gud ska få förvandlade liv i Kristus Jesus. Michael talar i många inflytelserika för-samlingar och sammanhang, och på konferenser varje år, exempelvis Elevation Church, C3-kon-ferenser, Lakewood Church, VOUS-konferenser, Relentless Church, XO äktenskapskonferenser och många andra. Han och hans fru Natalie har varit gifta sedan 2010 och bor i Tulsa, Oklahoma med sina fyra underbara barn: Isabella, Michael Jr, Ava Rae och Gia Symone.

The world is still reeling from the tragedy of the Zoo's recent massive outbreak. It failed, but does this mean it's defeated? Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... Sal knows better, but can he convince others that this was simply a prelude to something even more terrifying? Or will greed and politics continue to feed on the spoils of humanity's greatest enemy and ignore the terrible cost? While Heavy Metal expands their team in preparation for the inevitable hostilities, the Zoo begins its insidious campaign. With the Zoo bases swept into a frenzy of inexplicable attacks and feints by the alien jungle, can Sal and his team discover the purpose behind them in time? Beyond the obvious skirmishes and the new crop of monsters, is there something even more sinister at work? Will Sal be able to identify it before the Zoo's secret weapon destroys the wall that is humanity's only defense? Or is this the tipping point where human courage, determination, and ingenuity are finally overwhelmed by an alien intelligence far greater than anyone could imagine? After all, how do you fight something you cannot see?
