Biography
In 2003, while touring the U.S. with his wife in an RV, John Suk -- lifelong Christian, longtime pastor, and noted leader in the Christian Reformed Church -- experienced a crippling crisis of faith. He emerged from that dark time with the gift of a second sight -- doubt. In Not Sure Suk looks back at Christian faith -- in fifteen centuries of Christian history and in his own life -- through a skeptic's eyes. He exposes major pitfalls of modern Christian movements and questions what he considers to be faulty paradigms: the "personal relationship with Jesus," the "health-and-wealth gospel," and traditional ethnicity-based belief systems. In the end he is left clinging to what is for him a truer, wiser kind of faith in Jesus Christ -- faith that wavers; faith that questions; faith that is not sure.
