About the Book
This book concerns matters of faith, and how we benefit from God's gifts of grace to us which we accept by faith. Authentic faith is highly personal and, at the same time, should be shared. Faith matters for everyone. It is part of godly character, not contrived or manufactured. If we want more faith, we must identify what makes faith as believers in Christ and Christ-followers truly authentic and worth the individual life change that must accompany it. Real life change for the better is necessary when authentic faith is desired and present. This faith is described in Hebrews 11:1. From the KJV: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Authentic faith is comprised of both hope and evidence ... hope in God's provision and evidence of His faithfulness through all time. You are invited to experience a Breakthrough of faith as one who willingly submits to God without reservation.
About the Author :
Glen Aubrey believes in creative communication. Indeed whether as a consultant to business, conference speaker, writer, musician, or commercial producer/arranger, his clear task is to communicate truth authentically, without reservation, with integrity. Glen has a passion for people and is an advocate of people development, believing that people are an organization's greatest resource. Because healthy relationships matter most, he believes wholeheartedly in accountable and authentic investment in lives, promoting and actively engaging in service to others within the context of understanding that who people are is more important than what they do. Glen speaks to the heart, and in his own creative ways, challenges his listeners to do all they should do, because of who they are and are becoming. Come prepared to listen and read intently, participate wholeheartedly, be stretched, think creatively, act passionately, and impact lives with renewed and perhaps new commitment. Glen writes, "I enjoy traveling, especially to Gettysburg, Washington, D.C., Europe, and the Middle East. I treasure multi-cultural experiences and am fulfilled when conducting conference center presentations and speaking engagements. Enjoyments in life include walking, bicycle riding, and being with family and close friends; also a fireplace, my dogs, listening to classical music and profound artistic works. I appreciate, compose, and arrange multiple styles of music. I earnestly engage in creatively stimulating conversations on uplifting topics, listening and responding to other people's well-thought-out perspectives. I love to laugh. I thoroughly enjoy good football and baseball games. I am a student and teacher, a follower and leader. Further, "I acknowledge that I have a long way to go in learning what life is all about. I acknowledge that I am willing to work hard to achieve what I believe I am called to do. I also willingly and joyfully acknowledge dependence on God." From Lincoln-The Making of a Leader by Glen Aubrey (c) 2017

If you seek a life of fulfillment, read Faith Matters. If you're wondering what makes an excellent leader, read Faith Matters.
My favorite passage: "I define a 'relationship' as the choice I make about other people's success, changing my behavior to help them win."
When the success you long for eludes, seek Him, because Faith Matters. When God blesses you immeasurably, be grateful, because Faith Matters. When you're on a roll, be humble, because Faith Matters. When grief overwhelms you, keep believing, because Faith Matters.
Glen helps the reader examine what is most critical to each of us, and why. He leads us to experience an authentic breakthrough so our lives are richer in countless ways.
Thanks, Glen!

I've known Glen Aubrey for many years. We've had many dealings together. His books are intriguing and inspiring.
Faith Matters explores the essence of a key element of the Christian experience. And that's the point.
Enjoy this book with me.

"Just have faith." Maybe someone has said those words to you, and you've questioned whether or not that is possible. Maybe someone has said that about your relationship with God.
"Just have faith." What does this kind of faith look like? How do we know that we've attained it? I think these are questions many people wrestle with or may not know the answer to.
That's what I love about this book. Glen makes it easy for us to not only understand what authentic faith should look like, but how we live it out in our lives. As I read through the pages of this book, it felt like I was having a conversation, much like many of those Glen and I have had during the time we've know each other.
His words are authentic and wise, and help those who are on the journey to understand just how important our faith is, as believers.
My prayer is that this book would help you find the breakthrough you need when it comes to your faith.

Faith Matters is a personal journal/manual describing and illustrating the essential components of faith revealed through biblical quotations, and supported by a sampling of original musical compositions, personal stories, original poetry, and writings.
Faith Matters is also a motivational book in which Glen Aubrey weaves personal reflections with Scripture, inviting the reader into the realm of authentic faith.
He expresses the hope that the mature in faith will grow stronger and more confident in their faith-walk with Christ, and that the spiritually ambivalent, having little or no faith, may be drawn into the power of a living and dynamic faith, so that when they come to the conclusion of the book they might read the clever title with a slightly different punch of emphasis: "Faith Matters!"
