Questions and Answers

What is He Holds My Tomorrows about?

It is a study of faith by Gareth Evans, exploring the true meaning of faith and addressing common misconceptions about it. Working through Scripture — and especially Hebrews 11 — it examines different kinds of faith, such as saving faith, the fruit of faith, and the gift of faith, and the biblical distinctions between the 'work of faith' and the 'walk of faith,' to show how faith actually functions in a believer's life.

Who is Gareth Evans?

Gareth Evans is a Bible teacher and preacher whose ministry has spanned teaching, missionary work, and conference speaking over many years. He Holds My Tomorrows reflects his practical, Scripture-centred approach, applied here to one of the central themes of the Christian life — faith.

What misconceptions about faith does the book address?

It tackles common misunderstandings of what faith is, distinguishing biblical faith from vague optimism or mere belief. By examining Scripture's own definitions and distinctions — such as the difference between the 'work of faith' and the 'walk of faith,' and between saving faith and other kinds — the book aims to clear away confusion and show what faith really means.

What kinds of faith does the book distinguish?

It examines several, including saving faith (by which a person is justified), the fruit of faith (produced by the Spirit), and the gift of faith. By separating these, Evans helps readers see that Scripture speaks of faith in more than one sense, and that understanding the differences clarifies how faith works in a believer's life.

Why does the book give so much attention to Hebrews 11?

Because Hebrews 11 is the Bible's great gallery of faith, defining faith and illustrating it through figures like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and Rahab. Evans walks through these examples to show faith in action across Scripture, drawing from each life a lesson about how genuine faith trusts and obeys God.

What is the difference between the 'work of faith' and the 'walk of faith'?

These are among the distinctions the book draws from Scripture. In broad terms, the 'work of faith' concerns what faith does and produces, while the 'walk of faith' concerns the ongoing life of trust and obedience by which a believer lives. Evans separates them to help readers understand faith as both an active power and a daily manner of life.

Who is this book for?

For any Christian who wants to understand faith more truly — especially those confused by misconceptions or wanting to move beyond a shallow idea of it. Rooted in Scripture and rich in biblical examples, it suits ordinary believers seeking to grasp how faith really works and to live by it more confidently.

Where should a reader begin?

At the beginning, following the book's movement from the meaning and kinds of faith into the examples of Hebrews 11. Because it builds its teaching from definitions toward the biblical gallery of faith, it rewards being read in order, with the relevant Scriptures open alongside.
