The Benefit of Doubt Workbook: How Confronting Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to a Richer Faith

Your doubts are an invitation to a deeper faith.

Have you ever felt alone in your doubts? Or like you're the only one with questions about your beliefs? If so, you're in good company. Many heroes of the faith struggled with doubt—including C. S. Lewis, Martin Luther, and Mother Teresa.

The good news is that having doubts about your faith doesn't mean you're not a faithful follower of Jesus. In fact, doubt indicates a desire for authentic faith. Often, it is the struggle of confronting your doubts that will lead you to a greater understanding of what you believe—and a deeper faith.

In The Benefit of Doubt Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel draws on scriptural truths, biblical characters, and church history to lead you through your doubts. You'll dig deeper into some of the tough-to-answer questions that believers in Christ often ask, including:

• Why should I believe God is good?
• Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
• Why does God feel so far away?
• Why would God send people to hell?

If you're ready to face and embrace your doubts, this workbook will provide you with thought-provoking questions and opportunities to understand your doubts and find deeper faith in the truth.

This workbook is a companion to The Benefit of Doubt by Craig Groeschel. In each of the ten sessions, you'll examine a passage of Scripture that addresses common doubts, and then you'll get to assess your own beliefs about these topics.
