God Is Not on Trial: Faith in an Age That Thinks It Can Judge God

By Anthony McCartney

What if God is not the one on trial?

Many teenagers and young adults reach a point where faith no longer feels simple. Questions rise. Doubts become louder. Suffering makes God seem distant. The world offers answers that feel easier, faster, and more comfortable, while the Church asks for trust, patience, humility, and truth.

God Is Not on Trial is a Catholic book for teens and young adults who are wrestling with belief, prayer, sin, suffering, identity, temptation, and the pull between Godliness and worldliness. Written in a reflective and accessible style, this book does not shame doubt or pretend that faith is always easy. Instead, it walks with the reader through the real questions that often sit quietly beneath the surface:

Why does God feel hidden?
Why does the world seem so appealing?
Why does prayer feel hard?
Why does holiness matter?
And what does it actually mean to follow Christ when everyone around you seems to be chasing something else?

Grounded in Catholic teaching, Scripture, conscience, grace, repentance, and the call to holiness, this book invites young readers to stop treating God as a defendant who must prove Himself and begin seeing faith as a relationship that asks for honesty, courage, and surrender.

For Catholic teens, young adults, parents, youth ministers, confirmation leaders, and anyone guiding a young person through questions of faith, God Is Not on Trial offers a steady, thoughtful companion for the difficult but necessary journey back toward God.
