Without a doubtEver "stumbled" in your faith? Wrestled with uncertainty? Wondered if you're a true believer? If the answer is yes to any of these questionsÙand it probably isÙyou have reason to celebrate.In this candid book based on his own struggle with doubt, John Ortberg traces the line between belief and unbelief and finds that it's less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point toward the relief of being totally honest.Doubt ÀQuestions ÀHonest faith ÀOutrageous hope ÀIt's a chain reaction that can actually strengthen our relationship with God, and that, says Ortberg, is cause for celebration.
