Dr. Williams explores the most common obstacles that prevent people from trusting God, including personal betrayals, unfulfilled expectations, and seemingly unanswered prayers. He then explains what is reasonable to expect from God and offers practical tips for ways to grow in trust.
Williams has becoming a revered voice in the Christian community for his insightful writings on issues that really matter to Christians. In this book, Dr. Williams will help readers understand, not only how to trust God in spite of doubts and confusion, but to truly know God can be trusted.

Trust in God gives us a sturdiness that no other human security can offer. It gives steadiness, rootedness, stability and strength. Like a house built on solid rock, rather than one built on sand, the person who trusts in God finds in Him a firm foundation. He isn't blown about by the winds of fortune but stays strong both in good times and in bad. He does not become dejected in adversity nor overly inflated in prosperity.
If trust is essential to our relationship with other people, it is even more so with God. Without trust, we cannot take a single step forward in the spiritual life. Where habitual doubt and distrust make our spiritual lives stagnate, trust is the rich soil in which our spiritual lives flourish.

Author is Vatican Analyst for CBS News and the author of "Spiritual Progress." If trust is essential to our relationship with other people, it is even more so with God. Without trust, we cannot take a single step forward in the spiritual life. Where habitual doubt and distrust make our spiritual lives stagnate, trust is the rich soil in which our spiritual lives flourish. To help us cultivate that soil, Father Thomas Williams explores the reasons people struggle to trust God, acknowledging that suffering in the world at large, and homegrown personal tragedies, leads many to cynicism and defeated faith. Beyond the human battle to trust in the Creator, though, Williams asks whether God is worthy of our trust. How has He proved Himself throughout history? What can we learn from biblical accounts of His character? What does our own experience tell us about Him? Examining what the saints as well as contemporary Christians confirm about trusting God, Williams reveals the way we so often expect things from God that He hasn't promised.and then blame Him when we're disappointed. These things include: Perfect justice on earth; AN answer to the question "Why?"; A problem-free existence; Foreknowledge of what we'll face; Warm, fuzzy feelings. Williams then offers a careful look at what God has guaranteed to His children, freeing us to face Him honestly and then embrace faith or not: He will always tell us the truth; He will always love us; He will give us everything we need for salvation; He will ask of us only what we can give; He will always be with us; He will make our lives meaningful.
