CAN IT BE TRUE?
By Michael Wakely
IVP. 224 pages.
ISBN 0 85111 285 4

The author worked for many years in pioneer mission in India and Pakistan with Operation Mobilisation. Subtitled 'a personal pilgrimage through faith and doubt' the book will be an eye opener for those who assume that people in full time Christian ministry never have to struggle with doubts!

In an odd way that can be an encouragement to others who do so. It is written very honestly and many Christians, old as well as young, will be able to identify with the challenges to biblical faith that the author has encountered. These range quite widely from basic questioning about the existence, character and power of God, the person of Jesus and the trustworthiness of the Bible, to that which arises from the failure of other Christians and the bizarre claims of some Christian leaders.
