About this audiobook
In the process of gently helping us sort things out, Bessey teaches us how to be as comfortable with uncertainty as we are with solid answers. And as we learn to hold questions in one hand and answers in the other, we discover new depths of faith that will remain secure even through the storms of life.

Readers find this title to be an amazing and encouraging book that deepens their spiritual walk and relationship with Jesus. The author, Sarah, is relatable and makes readers feel like she's a dear friend. The book is especially helpful for those going through a faith crisis, as it reassures them that they're not alone in their journey and that they don't have to give up their faith just because it may not align with their home church. It also emphasizes the importance of asking questions and challenges the idea of having all the answers about God and His Word.
