Room for Doubt - by Brianna Reeves (Paperback)

About the Book

Discover how to revise your definition of faith to make room for doubt as a normal, even necessary part of a healthy believer's spiritual life. As you learn to doubt with humility, curiosity, and generosity, you'll discover something more valuable than complete certainty on every point of doctrine: complete trust in the God who will never let you go.

From the Back Cover

Explore a path through doubt that leads to endurance, not exit

Doubt is nothing new in the church, but the pressure around it is. Today we're pushed toward extremes: repress your questions and concerns or deconstruct your faith until there is little left to hold on to.

Brianna Reeves invites you to take a different path--one marked by humility, curiosity, and generosity. Sharing her own struggles with doubt, as well as the stories of others, Reeves draws you out of shame and into solidarity, addressing questions that keep so many believers up at night:
● Am I still a Christian?
● Did I ever really have faith?
● How can I engage in church genuinely without feeling like a fraud?
● Is my doubt sinful, or is it something that afflicts me?
● Will I ever recover from this?

Reeves challenges you to revise your definition of faith in such a way that makes room for doubt as a normal, even necessary, part of a healthy believer's life. As you question your own assumptions, listen closely to Scripture, and make room for the experiences of fellow pilgrims along the way, you'll discover something more valuable than complete certainty on every point of doctrine: complete trust in the God who will never let you go.
