When surrounded by faith-shaking fears--impulses to leave the restored gospel--how do we find the strength to HOLD ON? We may not have certainty in all things, but we can hold on to those truths we do believe. And when honest doubts come or impulses to leave tempt us, we can be prepared. In this book author S. Michael Wilcox shares six strategies to cope with these challenges and help us grow our faith in the gospel of Jesus of Christ. Drawing on his own personal faith journey as well as lessons from scripture, history, and literature, Holding On is an insightful, honest, and empathetic conversation about faith and doubt. The messages in this book urge us to hold onto faith, center the essentials, resist the impulses to leave, and stay.
