For people prone to doubt their faith and those who try to help them regain it, Os Guinness's book is an essential read. Doubt, he says, is not the same as unbelief but 'faith in two minds', a Christian trying to sort out uncertainties about themselves, their world or their God. It is not a technical book but it is thorough, full of helpful insights and fresh thinking.
The first section includes a helpful study of words translated as 'doubt' in our New Testament. The aim is to get us to see what doubt actually is as a prelude to finding a way out of it.
