Marva Dawn "At last! -- a faith-building book that could spark life-changing discussions in churches and families, as well as formative reflections for those who read it alone. Beyond Doubt offers meditations with sudden turns and theological surprises deep enough for adults, yet with a clarity and plainness for youth -- and all this with a freshness that is warmly inviting. The book's effortless flow hides its eminently skillful craftsmanship. Cornelius Plantinga does much more than answer questions astutely; he also calms our fears, nurtures our longings for God, and strengthens our hopes in these tense times. The best theology is rooted in worship, and this book immerses us in prayer -- and God! " Philip Yancey "I know no one more trustworthy in guiding us into important questions such as these. And Plantinga's graceful style adds a layer of unexpected pleasure." Lewis B. Smedes "A book to nourish the heart, inform the mind, and delight the soul of anybody who loves tough truth expressed in a fine sentence and a good story. From start to finish, a joy to read." Thomas G. Long "One of Neal Plantinga's great gifts is the ability to communicate the depths of the Christian faith in ways that are clear, memorable, and lyrical. In Beyond Doubt that gift is in full flower. Here Plantinga shines the light of his good and faithful mind on the questions that all of us ask about God and life. "
