About the Book
You have struggled with doubt and skepticism yourself. As you present your faith and think about it, you find it difficult to share it with nonbelievers. This is not because you are afraid to, but because skeptics just don't seem to want to understand. This contributes to your doubt and skepticism.
Still, though you struggle with your faith, you find that what you do believe is congruent with the Christian tradition and with Scripture itself.
This work does not attempt to convince the reader to believe a certain way. Rather, it is simply the expression of faith from a modern circuit rider. It serves as a facilitator of expressing faith, of thinking about it, and hopefully stimulating others to express their faith in the contexts of skepticism and traditional acceptance.
Should you disagree with the points of the book, great! I simply hope that you will present your own version in some form. Maybe you'll write your own book.
