Trusting God: Christian Faith in a World of Uncertainty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781573833295)

Can we really know that Christianity is true? Is there a place for doubt in the Christian life? Pastor Earl Palmer tackles these and other crucial questions in this helpful book, showing that authentic Christian faith is not a blind leap into the dark, but rather personal trust in the God who reveals himself in the Bible. Faith is putting our weight upon the faithfulness of God. It is our response to the evidence of God's self-evidence. Through numerous biblical examples Earl Palmer shows the many ways that we can be assured that our faith is well placed and yet be open to honest inquiry and deep self-questioning. Anyone who has ever been paralyzed in their faith by the forces of internal doubt will benefit from prayerfully reading this book. Each chapter includes Scripture readings and discussions questions for individual or group study. Earl F. Palmer is pastor of University Presbyterian Church in Seattle, Washington. He is the author of numerous books and commentaries on the New Testament, including The 24-Hour Christian, The Humor of Jesus, and The Book that James Wrote.
