Wrestling with doubt can
be profoundly lonely, but Portland pastor Dominic Done offers a safe
place to openly wrestle with your faith without being criticized or
judged.
Writing with humor and candor out of his own
experiences, and incorporating Scripture, literature, and accounts of
others who have doubted, Dominic Done argues that not only is
questioning normal, it is often a path toward a rich and vibrant faith.
Rather than viewing trust and doubt as incompatible, When Faith Fails provides readers with a way to wrestle and ask questions while growing ever closer to God.
No subject is off-limits, and Dominic fearlessly and graciously addresses topics including:
- the experience of tragedy
- the difficult parts of the Bible
- the intersection of science and faith
- the times when God is silent
By
walking in the path that many others have trod, you can move through
doubt into a deeper, fuller faith—a faith that doesn’t run from
questions and the hard work of honest wrestling but instead embraces the
mysteries of belief.
"This book is for those of us who have
experienced a gut check, or two, when it comes to some of the
intersections between our lives and our faith. It’s for those of us who
no longer want to add unnecessary explanations to our beliefs just
because we can’t fully see what God is doing in our lives."
—Bob Goff, New York Times bestselling author of Everybody, Always
“This book is one of those books that I will be buying to give to multiple friends.”
—Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion
“This
book will help you surrender and trust the areas of your life that are
meant to exude God-designed mystery, while also holding your hand as you
search for substance and truth.”
—Audrey Roloff, coauthor of A Love Letter Life, founder of Always More, and cofounder of Beating50Percent
“Doubt
is such a pertinent issue in this cultural moment. Dominic walks us
through the issues of doubt with which we wrestle but he does so in
pastoral practicality. One feels as though you are seated in his living
room sipping coffee. Dominic is the type of soul who understands the
questions of the heart. He never shames. He’s always transparent. He
gives substantive hope.”
—Emerson Eggerichs, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Respect
