Experience is not what a man thinks through, but what he lives through. The Bible is like life and deals with facts, not with principles, and life is not logical. Logic is simply a method of working the facts we know, but if we try to make God and other people logical, we shall find that the experience of life brings us to other conclusions. God sees that we are put to the test in the whole of life. We have to beware of selecting the portions of life only where we imagine we can live as saints and of cutting off any part of life because of the difficulty of being a Christian there.

It explores the essence of, and the relationship between, belief, faith, and doubt, and probes the limits between believing something is true and knowing something is true. It illuminates how all of that impacts our spiritual growth and our very being.
