Simplistic Christian platitudes can often do more harm than goodnot because they are mistaken but because they are misleading.

Sometimes clichs catch on because theyre true. More often, they catch on because theyre easy but poor substitutes for truth. Unquestioned Answers is a friendly, thoughtful call to reject faith-deadening clichs and embrace the robust truth of Scripture.

Myers shows us that God does not condemn believers for wrestling with doubts, though we must not forget to doubt our doubts. In addition, the best context to wrestle with our unquestioned answers is in the context of the local church.
