In "Despite Doubt" author Michael Wittmer does an excellent job of showing his readers that doubt can be healthy in the context of faith. Wittmer shows how when one knows all the answers there is no need for faith. It is only in the context of unknowing that we must take that extra step and believe in faith. This is a solid book. It is well written and easy to read, but more than anything else; it is faithful.

Many Christians struggle with the concept of walking by faith, especially in a world that says faith is all about taking risks, leaping into uncharted territory and expecting everything to be okay. In Despite Doubt, Michael E. Wittmer reexamines this popular viewpoint and encourages you to get a clear understanding of your assurance in God and salvation. You will examine the flipside of doubt that opens the door to questions, answers, and knowledge about securing your trust in God. Helping you to discover how to embrace a confident faith, Despite Doubt includes questions for reflection and discussion and is a perfect resource for small group study.

Michael Wittmer has written a great tool for Christians to use. Most of us have difficulty with walking by faith, it isn't something that comes easy. Mr. Wittmer, helps us to put one foot in front of the other and walk in faith. He teaches us some basic steps in overcoming doubt.

This would be great to be used for personal study, but also in a group setting. There is a section in the back of the book with some discussion questions, based on each chapter.
