Plot

"Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24).
We don't know the name of the man who spoke these memorable words to Jesus, but whoever he was, his words capture perfectly the anxieties of many Christians. They have discovered in Jesus Christ something far more wonderful than they had ever dared to hepe, and God seems very close in those first days to faith. However, nagging doubts sometimes remain.
The Sunnier Side of Doubt explains what doubt is and how it arises. It deals with a series of very specific doubts and anxieties that Christians experience, often in the first few years of their lives as beleivers. It offers suggestions for handling doubt and making faith less vulnerable to it. The main theme is simple: Doubt is an invitation to grow in faith and understanding, rather than something we need panic about or get preoccupied with.
