Refiner's Fire: The Struggle and Triumph of John the Baptist (Tools for Navigating Doubt, Reclaiming Faith, and Discovering the Gospel All Over Again)

"Are you the One who is to come-or should we look for another?" In biblical history, few heroes shine brighter than John the Baptist. Yet, two years into his ministry he questioned the very heart of his own message: the Messiahship of Jesus. Doubt is painful, frightening, deeply personal-and familiar to us all. Part Bible study, part conversation, this book uses the lens of John the Baptist to examine the nature of faith and doubt, explore the unexpected contours of the gospel, and help us grasp what it means to believe even in the midst of hurt, disappointment, and confusion. For the shaking and the rocked, the questioning and the doubtful, and every pilgrim heart who wants to hold on.
