Synopsis

When we find ourselves at the crossroads of doubt and faith, distant from God and worried our faith is slipping away, it’s hard to know where to turn. Some books tell you why your faith still holds true, and despite your growing unease, they insist you hold on to and even find certainty in what you've been taught. This isn’t one of those books. Yes, our questions hold power. But rather than destroying or weakening our faith, they build and strengthen it—one honest chat at a time. God, Can We Chat? invites you to take Jesus at his word when he calls you to come as you are right now—a doubting believer or perhaps even a believing doubter—to experience the intimacy and rest your soul craves in the midst of fear, doubt, anger, or confusion. Rather than attempting to answer all your questions or settle ongoing theological debates, author Niki Hardy helps you see doubts not as the end of your faith but as the beginning of an honest and fearless relationship with God—the one who is not threatened by our questions and who calls us not to unwavering belief but unrelenting love.

From the Back Cover

Doubt isn't the end of faith. Far from it.
