Finding Faith in the Face of Doubt: A Guide for Contemporary Seekers

by Joseph S. Willis

Many Americans say they are uncertain about their religious beliefs, although they continue to attend Christian and other churches. Interdenominational minister Willis presents this beautifully written book to help questioners maintain their integrity while relating to the vast Mystery that informs the universe beyond all understanding.

Customer Reviews

it inspires hope

I have prayed about losing my home to forced annexation and this book on faith faith gave me hope. We just went to the n.c. state capital and we were granted a moratorium for further study due in part to the out cry of the public, negative image, and floods of letters to the senate and house. God id working through your prayer and visits to lexingtontruth.com. it's good to know people can still insire you at your lowest moment.

Truth above all

Joe Willis and I were colleagues back in the 60s - and this book links us anew. Joe's book and mine came out in the same month, and they are like companion pieces. We even quote the same authors, including George Santayana, Paul Tillich, Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts. "Finding Faith" is thoughtful and thought-provoking. It reflects Joe's gentleness and his commitment to truth. He is more patient with humans in groups than I, which is something I envy. This book will help earnest seekers find interconnectedness and a glimpse of "Ultimate Reality." I highly recommend it. -- Harry Willson, author of "Freedom from God: Restoring the Sense of Wonder"
