| Good book on the subject of doubt about God |
| Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 |

This book deals with doubt about God, in general terms with each chapter dealing with a certain type of doubt including the underlying reasons for that type of doubt and the approaches recommended for dealing with that type of doubt. The book is useful and valuable in this area, for anyone with their own doubts or for helping others who are dealing with doubts. Near the end there are two chapters on two specific doubts - Why? - How Long? The writing about Job is particularly well done. The book is rounded out by emphasizing that our faith in the existence of God and the goodness of God is firmly based on Jesus Christ - who He is and what He has done.

Let me preface my review by explaining that Os Guinness is in my top ten list of favorite authors (shortly behind Augustine). He does an excellent job of blending contemporary philosophy with ancient tradition. Guinness helps the reader embrace, and then move through doubt. Though perhaps dated for a postmodern audience, Guinness helps the person who holds to a modern world-view understand that it is okay to not understand everything in a scientifically provable sense. This book has helped me personally put to words what I believed internally. I love the fact that Guinness uses quotes from other authors throughout history to illustrate his points. His writing style is just what the doctor ordered for me.

I read 12 non fiction books per year & few stop me & demand my undivided attention like God in the Dark (written 1996) did. Five years later, I was able to fall back on lessons I'd learned in this book to help others whose faith was shaken in the wake of 9/11. Nine years after GITD's writing, (2005) Guinness does it again. A perfect followup to God in the Dark is Unspeakable. While the former covers the minefield of doubt that often usettles believers, the latter takes us thru the unspeakable forest of evil in modern society. These books are definately one a thinking believer (or unbeliever for that matter) should wade thru.
