| Résumé : |
Doubt is everyone’s problem. But it is a special problem for Christians because of the premium placed on God's truthfulness. Some doubts gnaw unconsciously at the root of faith; some so clamor for attention that they keep us awake at night.
How should each of us deal with doubt? Ignore it, worry about it, suppress it? Or acknowledge it, get to its roots and resolve it? Os Guinness opts for the latter and shows us how. In a personal and practical way he discusses seven basic kinds of doubt and suggests ways each can be resolved —once and for all. |
