Product Description
John Ortberg demonstrates how doubt is very much a part of faith and how uncertainty can lead to trust. “The beliefs that really matter,” he writes, “are the ones that guide our behavior.” We all hope, Ortberg writes, but we cannot hope without faith, and so we must not hope for something but someone?Jesus Christ.

Faithfulness during uncertainity November 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
John OrtbergFaith and Doubt has once again masterfully shed light on something most Christians are afraid to admit exist in their lives because of the fear of being ridiculed. In this book, he is able to explain, as only he can do, that having doubts is necessary in developing faith. This book will be as tremendous benefit to new believers as well as those who have been walking in the faith. I like the way he is able to educate the reader on remaining faithful during times of uncertainity. This book will end up being a Christian Classic.
Great! November 20, 2008

I thought he did a very good job, and he is very open and honest. He opens your eyes to a lot of things you never really noticed but was always right there.
Another great book by John Ortberg November 20, 2008

I have now read 3 of John Ortberg's books and am also presently in a short bible study he co-wrote.
I love him.
I love his story's. What a great story teller.
I love his jokes.
One of my favorite treats is on my 2 work days, I go to lunch alone. The same restaurant....every Tuesday and Wednesday, and I read.
With John's work, I find myself laughing out loud, in the restaurant, as I savor one of his stories.
Then, in the next paragraph, he's moved my heart and I'm trying to hide my tears.
I love how He makes my Lord and Savior feel so close to me.
He knows the bible so well and he makes it so very applicable to EVERY situation I find myself in...be it a blessing or a challenge.
John is very real. There is no lecturing or 'talking down' to his reader. I guess 'authentic' is a good word for him.
This book especially reveals him as an 'every man' kind of guy.
He lays out his own doubts in this book and doesn't candy coat or defend his own issues with doubt.
I love how he interjects scripture. With out being 'preachy'
I do not lend out my Ortberg books. I've offered to...and then I never want to part with them. I am reading 'Everyone's Normal till You Get to Know them' for the second time. I highlight John's books. I make smiley faces where they make me laugh and I circle what breaks my heart.
I have overcome my Ortberg-hording by just buying his book for my friends/loved ones and even my Boss! (He's a great guy and lover of Christ.)
John is an excellent author for that new believer. All of his books are great for that friend you want to introduce to Christ. Yet someone that is more mature in their walk will be refreshed, renewed and refined in their belief.
So there you have it.
I've never felt about an author the way I do about John Ortberg.
Buy this book with confidence...you'll enjoy it and grow from it.
Better yet, save on shipping and just buy a few of his works. You'll be back for more. : )

I am halfway through it, and so far it is, in my opinion, the most honest book ever written by a pastor . . . I am loving it!
