review 1: Perhaps one of the most profound works written on the topic of religious uncertainty for a Mormon audience. Givens' outlines a coherent and commanding treaties on doubt and why we must accept doubt and silence as a significant part of any faith endeavor. The great irony in focusing so intentionally on doubt is that Givens gave place and voice for my faith. While directed towards an LDS/Mormon audience, this is a significant work that could and should find room on the shelf of any believer. I found myself highlighting passages on just about every page and look forward to returning to them often.
review 2: "Even if there be no hereafter, I would live my time believing in a grand thing that ought to be true if it is not. And if these be not truths, then is the lof... moretiest part of our nature a waste. Let me hold by the better than the actual, and fall into nothingness off the same precipice with Jesus and Paul and a thousand more, who were lovely in their lives, and with their death make even the nothingness into which they passed like the garden of the Lord. I will go further, and say I would rather die forevermore believing as Jesus believed, than live forevermore believing as those that deny him." George MacDonald less
