About the Book

About the Original Work Originally published in 1842 as The God of Glory: Or a Guide to the Doubting in Devotional Guides, this classic work has been carefully revised and reissued under a new title in 2025. Robert Philip begins these essays by highlighting Abraham’s faith as a model for all believers to follow. From there, he thoughtfully examines the nature and causes of doubt. As the chapters progress, the author explores:

  • General and specific aspects of doubt
  • Root causes of unbelief
  • The path to overcoming doubt through a deeper understanding of God’s goodness

This book emphasizes that every great promise in the Bible is anchored in the hope of eternal life. It explains how:

  • God established His promise of grace and mercy before the world began—not to create uncertainty, but to inspire faith.
  • The eternal nature of His mercy assures us of His unchanging and reliable word.

When we doubt His promise, we inadvertently question His truthfulness. Instead, this book calls us to place our trust in God’s eternal plan of salvation through Christ, offering comfort and assurance.

Perfect for:

  • Readers seeking biblical answers to doubt
  • Those looking to strengthen their faith
  • Those seeking to overcome fears of having committed the unpardonable sin.
