Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. When Belief Feels Fragile is written for Christians, seekers, and honest inquirers who find belief difficult but are not ready to dismiss it. The book presents real questions asked by an inquirer who was doubting their faith - questions that were sincere, thoughtful, and deeply human rather than hostile or rebellious. Instead of treating doubt as failure, the book presents it as a serious part of developing a mature faith.The book invites readers to ask hard questions openly, examine Christianity carefully, and move beyond inherited belief toward a faith grounded in Scripture, reason, history, and honest reflection. It begins by asking whether Christianity is actually true, rather than merely meaningful or comforting. Christianity is presented as a faith rooted in historical claims - especially the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ - that must be evaluated as claims about reality.The book explores how historical claims should be weighed, including the limits of circular reasoning, the reliability of ancient sources, the scarcity of documentation, the "missing years" of Jesus' early life, and the silence often found in ancient history. A major focus is the resurrection, examining early Christian testimony, non-biblical references, alternative explanations for the empty tomb, and whether the resurrection remains a reasonable explanation when judged by consistent historical standards.The book also addresses the lived experience of faith, including prayer, the quietness of God, and why God may seem less visibly active today than in biblical times. Prayer is presented as more than asking for outcomes; it includes adoration, confession, thanksgiving, formation, lament, trust, and relationship.Later chapters compare Christianity with other religions, consider the sincerity of believers in competing faiths, and wrestle with difficult biblical passages and theological tensions. The book also examines whether faith is merely a coping mechanism, why intelligent people doubt, whether Christianity operates as a closed loop, and how similarities between biblical and non-biblical stories should be understood.This is also a helpful book for Christians who have friends or family members questioning their faith. It offers a respectful way to understand those doubts, respond with patience, and engage difficult questions without fear or defensiveness.This is not a book that promises simple answers or total certainty. It is a guide for those standing in the tension between faith and doubt, offering a thoughtful path forward for readers who want to believe honestly, question carefully, and discover whether Christianity is strong enough to withstand scrutiny.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Brian Dowler has served in many roles among several different Church of Christ congregations, from eldership to different deacon positions. He has successfully led minister search teams, and has developed the process outlined in this book as part of those efforts. Deciding which man to hire as your next minister is one of the most important decisions your congregation will make. In many ways, the man (or men) serving your congregation, and their families, will play a huge role in determining the harmony, growth, and spirituality of your members. Yet all too often the hiring decision is based on as little information as a tryout sermon and brief interview with a few select members or church leaders.In this guide, a process is outlined which has been used successfully to identify the specific traits needed by your congregation. You can use and modify this process to find suitable candidates, and then to select and hire someone - driven by congregational involvement. This congregational inclusion helps insure that the man selected will be effective, and supported by your members from the start.Dowler is the editor of God's Love Story. God's Love Story gives a broad overview of the Bible, from start to finish. It is intended to help you grasp the story and purpose of God's plan for mankind. God's Love Story contains selected and compiled portions of the Bible, placed as best as possible in chronological order, as a means of giving a readable and easy to understand synopsis of the Bible. By removing verse markings, the text reads much like a novel, and actually reverts back to a form more like the original text as first written down thousands of years ago. Using this approach, material from several different books of the Bible may be combined in one chapter of God's Love Story to provide an easy-to-understand and seamless storyline.To aid congregations in using God's Love Story, a "campaign publicity kit" has been developed. The Kit Contains:1) Graphics files for printing posters. A poster has been designed for each of the 39 book chapters. 2) Graphics files for printing banners. 3) Customizable flyers (Microsoft Publisher). 4) Customizable Postcards 5) Implementation Guide - suggestions to help make your church campaign successful.6) Curriculum - For adults plus children of all ages.More information can be found at getgodslovestory.comBrian is a graduate of Ohio Valley University (Vienna WV), going on to complete studies in Mechanical Engineering (both B.S. and Masters) at West Virginia University. He has held positions in product development, international sales, and engineering management. This item is printed on demand.
