Publisher Description
What if the most important word is the one in the middle? We often think of doubt as the opposite of faith, but could it actually strengthen our relationship with God? According to John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor, the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty. In this refreshingly candid look at a life of faith, he traces the line between belief and unbelief: less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor’s edge that runs through every soul. His findings point us toward the relief of being totally honest. Questions can expand our understanding, uncertainty can lead to trust, and honest faith can produce outrageous hope. Written from Ortberg’s own struggle with faith and doubt, this book will challenge, comfort, and inspire you with the truth that God wants all of us—including our doubts.

"If you have every struggled with doubting the existance of God, this book is a must read. It comforted me and helped me to see that there should not be guilt associated with doubt, but instead a drive for understanding."

" I think this is a must-read for Christians and for anyone with doubt. Learn why doubt is not only an honest response but maybe also a necessary one in order to grow in your faith. I may read this again. "

" I could not get into this book. Perhaps it was the subject matter. I don't doubt. But Ortberg is one of my favorite authors - If You Want to Walk On Water is in my top 3 all time favorite books. Gave this every effort. "

" The new title of this book is Know Doubt. Again, another book I wish that I read ten years ago. It's nice to know that others have doubt too. "
— Jennifer, 1/31/2010 -
" Not as good as some of his previous books, but still the same easy going style that I've come to appreciate. The last few chapters truly make the book. Honest and open while getting to you thinking. "
