If I Really Believe, Why Do I Have These Doubts?: Hope for Those Who Feel They Will Never Measure Up to Other Christians' Faith

By Lynn Anderson

Book Overview

Faith is the most fundamentally important aspect of following Christ. Yet there are times in every believer's life when the inevitable question arises in the heart and works its way to the soul: If I really believe, why do I have these doubts? The question may have been planted by tragedy or trial. It may have been ignited by rejection or heartbreak. It may even be as simple as an intellectual burr that can't be shaken. If you or someone you know is asking this question, this book will bring help and hope to every heart in search of a deeper faith.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book for anyone having doubt about their faith. My doubt started after my second son was born and I went through post-partum depression again. I've never doubted God and had a radical conversion so I was really confused why all of a sudden I was attacked with doubt. Anyway, the author does a fantastic job at defining what faith is and what faith is not. Also does a great job discussing the different "faces" of doubt (depression, personality, etc). For what it's worth . . . this is a book that will stay on my bookshelf. Way to go Lynn Anderson. I would also recommend God in the Dark for anyone seeking answers to their doubt.

It's okay

This is not a bad book. The author seems sincere enough. He (yes, Lynn is a 'he') made an honest attempt to answer his question. I almost finished reading it; so that's pretty good.

Everyone has had some doubts, learn to deal w/ them!

Dr. Anderson does a great job of helping people deal w/ overcoming the obstacles that they encounter when they become a Christians. Anderson does a great job of describing how the doubts that we have will be with us throuhout our Christian life, but there are ways of overoming them. This book is a must have for every Christian!
