The Christian has been given the great privilege of knowing God through Jesus Christ. While the Bible clearly shows us who God is, what he has done for us, and what he expects from our lives, that knowledge is nothing more than accumulated information unless acted upon. That knowledge must be wrestled out in everyday life as we seek to truly experience God for who the Bible declares him to be and seek to submit ourselves to his ways.

In Struggling with God, author pastor Sam Sumner gives all Christians a basic overview of some key beliefs and practices of the Christian faith. Using examples from his own life and scripture, he shows how God patiently perseveres with those who struggle to know him and live in a way that pleases him.

Dealing with such deep themes as the trinity, the struggle between good and evil, the redemptive story, the deity of Christ, and even the Holy Spirit, Struggling with God presents a theology for real life.

Sam Sumner is the pastor of Pathway Church in Beulaville, North Carolina, where he served as youth pastor from 2003 to 2006 while also teaching in the public school system. He earned degrees in history and education from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a master’s in theological studies from Liberty University. In 2015, Sumner returned to Pathway Church where he serves the people as their senior pastor alongside his wife and two children.
