About this audiobook
Is it wrong to doubt? Many Christians assume that doubt is faith's opposite and that wandering among the hard questions of faith will lead us further and further away from God. True believers, the assumption goes, never waver in their confidence in the fundamental truths of the Christian faith.
Professor and philosopher Travis Dickinson disagrees. Instead, he says, our doubts and hard questions about the faith are actually an important way we can express our commitment and love to God. Doubt isn't our destination but it's an important step on the way. It's possible to wander toward God as we ask our questions honestly, in faith and trust. As we do, we'll discover the truth, goodness, and beauty of God waiting for us.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really appreciated this book. It was biblically and logically solid while validating the realities of doubt and big questions in faith. It was a timely read as I have been asking many “big questions” and wrestling with God. Thank you for the time, thought, and effort that went into writing. It is so appreciated!
