Holy Doubt: Finding Hope When Faith is a Struggle

by Erica Barthalow

Do you feel rejected or abandoned by God?
Do you sometimes wonder if God hates you?

Are you tempted to give up and walk away?

You're not alone.

In Holy Doubt, author and former missionary, Erica Barthalow weaves a story of faith unraveled and stitched back together by an honest journey through doubt and questions about God. Questions like:

Is God good?
Can He be trusted?
Does God cause bad things to happen to us?

Set against the exotic and colorful backdrop of India, you'll be transported into Erica's redemptive story and regain hope for your fractured relationship with God. With empathy and compassion born from personal experience, Erica invites you to examine your deepest questions about God from a fresh perspective. If your faith in God has been broken or shattered, and you long for healing and hope, Holy Doubt is a must-read.

This book is a must read!!
I am in awe of the transparency Erica shows us through this book. A journey of her unraveling faith that left her with doubts and questions through her struggles. A journey where she lost her religion, but found Jesus. As I read this book, it took me through my personal journey, helping me to see it's ok to have doubts and questions. That God just wants me to be real with Him and persevere with patience. He is writing a beautiful story of my life using the struggles, doubts and questions to bring healing and hope. Thank you Erica for your inspiration and encouragement that God will bring beauty out of ashes!
