Summary

We live in anxious and uncertain times, and find it hard to trust. In the midst of financial meltdowns, school shootings, disgraced role models, and our own broken relationships, nothing seems certain. Yet, we long for something authentic and reliable to believe in, and for someone we can trust with our lives. That someone, contends Dave Sterrett, is Jesus.
