Publisher's Description
Stop. Slow down. Be present. The moment matters. Like a photographer or storyteller, Jesus exhibited time and again how easy it is to capture moments of profound importance just by noticing, stopping, and respondin g to his surroundings. In a world moving way too fast, Framing Faith is a book for people seeking to focus their lives, to find a deeper knowledge of God, and a more authentic Christian faith. In this modern age, many of us fill every “spare” moment we have rather than taking an intermission to see the true works of God and realize that he is present in every moment. Matt Knisely communicates biblical truths in a fresh way, allowing you to really hear them, as if for the first time. He illustrates a new way to see God and to help us live in the moment through the exploration of various photography concepts, including perspective, composition, processing, and darkness versus light. His probing questions and unexpected presentation lead readers into a place of honest self-examination, causing them to ask, “Am I listening to God?” Framing Faith provokes its readers toward reflection; it reveals God is in everything we see and do.

“In our world where unlimited information has become a mere distraction and social media often stands in for real socializing, Framing Faith shows us how to live out truly important, meaningful stories with God—stories that cannot be compressed into 140 characters.”
“Framing Faith causes me to think about my own story and to make changes in my life that will create a better ending.”
“If a photo is worth a thousand words, then Framing Faith is worth its weight in wisdom only found through true life experiences. This book is not only a challenge for us now, but a good reminder not to lose sight of God’s love all around us our entire lives.”
“Matt has done with words what he does with his camera: he captures a beautiful image that tells a powerful story. Through this verbal imagery, Framing Faith provides us with a language for describing the rising art of visual storytelling.”
“and over again. Matt has a unique voice and a wonderful gift of bringing to life our everyday experiences, but reframing them in a profound way. I’m most thankful that the book was a constant example of the importance of slowing down and being mindful of our every moment. For when we are mindful in the moment, we are most aware of God at work in our lives and the transformation that He brings. Thank you, Matt, for continually reminding me of that at each turn of the page.”
