About this ebook
The last decade has shaken our trust in personal safety through terrorist attacks, school shootings, economic turmoil, and war. Our trust has been shattered in other areas as we have seen hypocrisy in governmental leaders as well as in the church.
We are looking for relationships that are authentic and full of life, but we have many questions in regard to faith, reason, suffering and even the person of Jesus himself. Author and speaker Dave Sterrett helps us answer these and other questions:
-Why Should I Trust Jesus when So Many Other Spiritual Paths Exist?
The foundation of trusting in Jesus is that he is true. But if absolute truth does not exist, then to say that “Jesus is the Truth” is a meaningless statement. Many definitions of truth fail, but a good definition of truth is “that which corresponds to reality”; simply put, truth is “telling it like it is.”
-Why Should I Trust Jesus When All I Need to do is Trust Myself?
Human knowledge is real, but it has its limitations. Jesus, however, is all-knowing. He knows everything about me. He knows everything about you. He knows what you are thinking. He knows what you are feeling. He understands you better than you understand yourself! This is one of the many good reasons for us to pray to the Father in the name of the Son.
-Why Should I Trust Jesus in the Midst of Suffering and Death?
The ultimate foundation of Christianity is a historical event: the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. A man who walked this earth in history claimed to be God, died on the cross, and bodily rose from the dead.
Many people in today’s culture, both Christians and non-Christians, have questions about why and how to trust Jesus. But there is hope! He is worthy of our trust.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a highly readable book, designed primarily for a "seeker" audience. However, that's about as deep as it goes, unfortunately. I bought it because I thought it might have an interesting take on a variety of important questions, such as "Why Should I Trust Jesus When There Are So Many Other Spiritual Paths?" and "Why Should I Trust Jesus in the Midst of Suffering and Death?" -- but the answers the author gives, while theologically sound, are way too "churchy" and "gee whiz" for my taste. They come off sounding rather trite for my taste. This book is an appetizer only -- if you want the main course I would still go to C.S. Lewis or any of a number of authors.
