Description
Do you have significant doubts about God? Are you afraid to doubt, much less admit to anyone that you aren't fully convinced of God's faithfulness? Are you so torn by your questions that life is losing its meaning? This forthright but compassionate book works to tear away the layers of misunderstanding about doubt to reveal not only its dangers but its great value. As author Os Guinness explains: "If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to There is no believing without some show more doubting, and believing is all the stronger for understanding and resolving doubt." For those who are unsure of God's trustworthiness-and for those who are in a dark place, wanting to know "Why?" or "How long, O Lord?"-God in the Dark is a must. It puts a human face on the problem of doubt and examines it thoroughly. In a way that will respond to your questions, settle your fears, and strengthen your faith. show lessTags

A wonderful expose on what constitutes doubt in the Christian heart and mind. Thoughtful and well written. Worth the time to read.
This is an updated version of "In Two Minds". The book starts with a discussion about the role of doubt in the life of faith. Doubt isn't the enemy of faith, unbelief is. Doubt relationship to faith/unbelief is like fear in relationship to courage/cowardice. The rest of the book examines seven common roots of doubt.
