Hmm …

The word commonly translated as faith in the Gospels is  pisteuó, which has more to do with trustworthiness than with the intellectual acceptance of a set propositions. So, for a Christian, it would seem to mean the acceptance of Christ's invitation to "follow me."
I am sure I could draw up a list of Writers of Faith, but I think the best book on what Christians mean by faith is Romano Guardini's The Living God.
Also worth noting is D. H. Lawrence's poem "The Hands of God."
