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.
Book Synopsis
Doubt is nothing new in the church, but our experience of it in the current culture is one of extremes. We are pressured to choose--either repress our questions and concerns about the faith or deconstruct our faith until there is little left to hold on to. Rejecting this arbitrary dichotomy out of hand, Brianna Reeves advocates for a third way--one marked by humility, curiosity, and generosity. Sharing her own struggles with doubt, as well as the stories of others, Reeves invites you out of shame and into solidarity, addressing specific questions, such as
- 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 I am suffering from? - Will I ever "recover" from this?
With great compassion, 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 spiritual 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.
