God can handle your difficult questions and use them to deepen your relationship with him.
"Am I the only one who has these doubts? What if my friends, family, or others find out I'm doubting--and even deconstructing--my faith in God? What is really true? Does it make me a bad Christian if I have doubts?" At some point, almost all of us have had questions about Christianity and doubts about God. We're afraid we might never find answers, yet we aren't sure if we are ready to abandon our faith altogether.
Bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself, and in The Benefit of Doubt, he shows us how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table style, Groeschel shares stories from his own life as well as the Bible to help us wrestle with--and find helpful answers to--the questions fueling our doubt:
- What should I do when I doubt God's goodness?
- Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
- Doesn't science disprove the Bible?
- Why would God only provide one way to heaven?
- Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?
- Why does God sometimes feel so far away?
Doubt is an important part of deepening your faith, but that doesn't make it an easy process to walk through. If you're wrestling with doubts, this book, along with God's transformative power, will help you develop a richer faith, a deeper understanding, and a more authentic relationship with God.
