John Ortberg demonstrates how doubt is very much a part of faith and how uncertainty can lead to trust. 'The beliefs that really matter,' he writes, 'are the ones that guide our behavior.' We all hope, Ortberg writes, but we cannot hope without faith, and so we must not hope for something but someone?Jesus Christ.
