About the author

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was married to Bethan Lloyd-Jones

The book is divided into three parts: The Nature of Faith, The Trial of Faith, and The Triumph of Faith. In the first part, the author examines the biblical definition of faith and how it differs from mere belief or intellectual assent. He explains that true faith is not just an intellectual exercise but a personal and living relationship with God.

In the second part of the book, the author explores the trials and difficulties that believers may face in their faith journey. He emphasizes that trials and difficulties are not evidence of a lack of faith, but rather an opportunity for growth and spiritual maturity.

In the final section of the book, the author discusses the triumph of faith and how it leads to a life of victory and fulfillment. He shows how faith enables believers to overcome the challenges of life and experience the joy and peace that come from a deep relationship with God.

Overall, "Faith Tried and Triumphant" is a challenging and inspiring book that offers a biblical perspective on the subject of faith. The author's sermons are both scholarly and practical, providing readers with a deep understanding of the nature of faith and its importance in the Christian life.
