Does Christianity Still Make Sense?: A Former Skeptic Responds to Today’s Toughest Objections to Christianity

A chronic doubter responds to 20 of the most difficult questions about Christianity

From the Foreword by J. Warner Wallace: “A book written by a man who has genuinely struggled with the questions, wrestled with doubts, and emerged faithful on the other side. He understands you.”

Does Christianity still make sense? Years after Bobby Conway became a Christian, this question haunted him. Even though by then, he was the pastor of a thriving church, it seemed as if his entire belief structure was being dismantled. Had he been duped? Perhaps you can relate to how Bobby felt. Maybe you find yourself questioning in the same way.

In this book, Bobby describes his own long journey through chronic doubt to a settled and confident trust. In this book, he responds to the twenty toughest challenges to the Christian faith, including these difficult questions:

  • Why are there so many scandals in the Church?
  • Aren’t Christians just a bunch of hypocrites?
  • Why do Christians use God’s name to oppress others?
  • Why are so many Christians racists?
  • Why does God allow evil in the world?
  • Is there reliable evidence for God’s existence?

Join Bobby in this book as he explores these questions and many more while describing how he was hammered with doubts for years.

Doubting Toward Faith: The Journey to Confident Christianity

Contrary to popular belief, doubt is not the opposite of faith. Rather, doubts call for an important decision—will you give in to unbelief, or will you continue the journey toward faith?

Doubt can lead to confusion, hopelessness, and despair. But as this eye-opening book demonstrates, doubts can also deepen your dependence on God, develop your sense of empathy for others, and motivate you to find satisfying answers to life’s biggest questions. Here you’ll find practical ways to use your doubts to build your faith, such as…

  • letting your doubts drive you to Jesus
  • finding a safe community where you can doubt out loud and find support
  • using a journal to clarify your doubts and the answers you find


No one can eliminate all doubt this side of heaven. So for now, discover how to use your doubts to keep you headed in the right direction—toward faith.
