Calling Things That Are Not As Though They Were by Barb Witt

Calling Things That Are Not As Though They Were by Barb Witt is a fairly religious book, but you do not have to be Christian to understand the message…although you are allowed to roll your eyes if you feel it necessary. There is a lot of scripture thrown about, and out of multiple versions of the Bible. But Barb does have a very valid point, even to nonreligious or non-Christian people.

In Calling Things That Are Not As Though They Were , Barb talks about faith, and how it operates. One does not usually have faith in that which is already present, but in that which cannot be seen. In many scriptures it is pointed out that God or Jesus says what will be rather than what is. One example is the famous “Let there be light.” There is no wishy washyness when the divine speaks of what will be. There are many examples of each time one speaks of the unseen as manifest.

I give Calling Things That Are Not As Though They Were three out of five stars for non-Christians and four out of five stars for Christians.
