Know Doubt

Embracing Uncertainty in Your Faith

By: John Ortberg

Narrated by: John Ortberg

In this refreshingly candid look at what it takes to live a life of faith, John Ortberg takes an honest look at the misgivings and uncertainties that often shake our beliefs as we navigate through the highs and lows of life.

Reflecting on his own bouts with doubt and uncertainty, Ortberg shares with readers his discovery that, rather than being a contradiction in terms, doubt and faith may be very much a part of each other. He challenges readers to consider how doubt can motivate us to study and learn, how questioning expands our understanding, and how uncertainty can lead to trust. These challenges point us toward the relief of being totally honest.

The right kind of doubt can be a gift—an action-generating truth that actually allows us to deepen our faith and intimacy with God. Written to challenge, comfort, and inspire readers, Know Doubtreveals uncertainty as a cause for celebration.

Oh, that you would have written this 60 years ago!

For 60 years, I have beat myself up for doubting my faith, believing that I was the only one on the planet with this problem. Oh, that Ortberg would have written this book in 1957 (when devastating doubt hit me) so that I could have lived a life embracing doubt so that I could enjoy my faith. I will now start my second read as this will be the writing that will continue to be transformational as it is already creating a foundation for hope and joy! Thank you, John.

Great, as always!

I truly enjoy Ortberg's books and can relate to his unique storytelling approach. He is informative and entertaining at the same time, a rarity in non-fiction.
