BOOK DESCRIPTION
A. W. Tozer was an influential Christian pastor, writer, and editor whose work emphasized the knowledge of God and wholehearted Christian devotion. He repeatedly urged believers to examine their faith honestly, reject empty religious habits, and give serious attention to their relationship with God.
Known for works such as The Pursuit of God, Tozer challenged readers to consider whether their convictions were directing their lives. His concern for sincere faith continues to encourage Christians to examine their motives, priorities, and conduct in the light of Scripture.
THIS IS NOT A REPRINT OF A. W. TOZER’S ORIGINAL WRITINGS.
Decades have passed since Tozer addressed the spiritual condition of Christians and the church. His appeal for genuine devotion remains relevant, while contemporary challenges require careful examination and clear answers from God’s Word. Skeptical arguments, conflicting religious teachings, unanswered questions, personal suffering, and disappointment with professing Christians can unsettle believers and weaken their confidence in Christ.
Holding Onto Faith in Jesus Christ in an Age of Doubt is a twenty-first-century work drawing upon Tozer’s concern for sincere Christian belief and faithful living. I have used that concern as the starting point for a substantially rewritten and expanded presentation addressing readers today. The fourteen chapters examine Jesus’ identity and authority, the reliability of the Gospel accounts, the evidence for His resurrection, science and faith, evil and suffering, unanswered prayer, religious hypocrisy, conflicting teachings, online skepticism, pressure from family and friends, guilt and forgiveness, the cost of discipleship, difficult biblical passages, and continued obedience.
Where necessary, Tozer’s theological language and interpretations have been revised according to the historical-grammatical meaning of Scripture. Christian spiritual direction comes through the Spirit-inspired Word, and the practical counsel throughout this book emphasizes examining evidence, understanding biblical teaching accurately, and responding through deliberate faithfulness.
My prayer is that this updated work will encourage readers to face their questions honestly, examine the reasons for Christian belief, and strengthen their confidence in Jehovah and His Son. May it help them answer objections responsibly, accept needed correction, and continue faithfully along the path leading to eternal life.
