Synopsis

You might know what you believe ... but do you know that you believe? While many Christians know that they are supposed to believe, they don’t know if they actually do believe. Stop wondering if you have false faith, spurious faith, temporary faith, intellectual faith, or head faith instead of heart faith. All such terms are unhelpful and unbiblical, and cause many Christians to wonder if they have truly believed.By reading this book, you will not only discover how faith works, but also how to know that you believe. This book also answers some of your most pressing questions about faith, such as the relationship between faith and works, whether or not God gives the gift of faith, and how it is possible to be certain about your faith. This book also provides explanations for several key Bible passages about faith.

Review:

In the recent past, Gordon H. Clark's book Faith and Saving Faith helped to clear away the fog that has surrounded the nature of believing. Clark explained that to believe is to understand and to be persuaded that a proposition is true.

But Clark's book had some faults. He was mostly concerned with the statements of other theologians in the Reformed tradition, making it less accessible to the general public. And Clark himself was unsure of what you needed to believe to receive eternal life. Clark advanced the cause, but there was further to go.

I tried to present a modern defense of Clark's position in my book Beyond Doubt: How to Be Sure of Your Salvation. However, since that book was not directly about the nature of faith, I had planned to write another on the topic. It is with a mixture of relief, sadness, joy, and not a little envy that I can say Jeremy beat me to it!

And he's done an excellent job.
