Elyse Fitzpatrick books are clear and deep. She loves to share bible truths straight. If you are dealing with doubt (as we all are at certain times in our lives) these devotionals are going to be a glass of fresh water while you walk on your desert. This could be a great gift for a friend who is dealing with doubt. May God help our unbelief.

This is a short devotional style book with 31 short "chapters" built around the theme of doubt. There are things here for big-time doubters, who heavily doubt Christianity is even real, and there is also a lot of material for Christians who struggle with different areas of doubt. Each chapter is short and ends with two short truths to remember. My favorite chapter was the one about the "Hall of Doubt," where the author takes some of the "heroes" from Hebrews 11 and shows how much they struggled with doubt. I don't often give books five stars, but this one lands the full five star rating.

Strength does not come from pride or narcissism. It comes from humility and trust.


A devotional on doubt that leads to the arms of Christ. All of us whether we follow Christ or not have doubts. Believe it or not, doubt can increase your faith as you cling to the promises of Christ. However, when we put ourselves in isolation or let bitterness or self-indulgence settle in, we grow further from Christ. This devotional explains what doubt is and how we can bring our doubt to a stronger faith where we experience the grace of God. In experiencing the grace of God, we can share that grace with others.

I appreciated the fact that faith doesn't have to say that everything will work out the way I hope for it to but what we can say instead how might God chose to work. Many times I see God working more in my life when it doesn't work out the way I want it to. When I didn't get that job, or that opportunity. It makes me now think that the Lord may have someone better than myself or that Lord is teaching me something or something better is coming. Faith is about trust not about what you receive. Grace is what you receive.

Fitzpatrick is transparent in her teaching and always showing others that Jesus is better.
