Can It Be True?: A Personal Pilgrimage Through Faith and Doubt

The Christian faith inherently confronts some very troublesome questions. Nagging doubts surface about the trustworthiness of Scripture, the place of miracles, finding God's personal guidance, the hypocrisy of fellow Christians, and other root issues.

Michael Wakely uses his own struggles with doubt as a clear challenge to experience salvation and the reality of faith without having all the answers. Can It Be True provides a dose of reality, an honest viewpoint and a fresh look at faith that will strengthen and inspire.

" These pages have a powerful ring of reality. True stories of real people, not all with happy endings, jump off the pages of this book."

—George Verwer Founder, Operation Mobilization

• Targets several different kinds of personalities

• Additional reading suggestions to better understand faith
• Each chapter includes several common questions to ponder

“Faith that never asks the hard questions—and by implication never tackles some honest doubts—is often not genuine faith but an artificial imitation without a very deep foundation.”

During his many years as a missionary in the Middle East, Michael Wakely was forced to look straight into the dark face of doubt.

As he encountered the beliefs of other religions, struggled to find God’s guidance for his life, and saw the follies of fellow Christians, he began to question the trustworthiness of Scripture and the veracity of his faith. He often wondered, can it be true?

Looking back over his Christian experience, Wakely can honestly say that he has no regrets about his doubts and questions. In fact he’d argue that it is crucial to ask the hard questions and discover the truth—before doubt turns into unbelief.

So for if you are wondering if the claims of Christianity can be true, come and search with Wakely for the genuine answers to your honest questions.

“For those like myself who also struggle with doubt, this book is a huge help and blessing.”

—George Verwer
