Closing the Gap: Dealing with Doubt and Unbelief in Your Christian Walk
Do you ever feel like there’s a massive gap between what you say you believe about God and what you actually experience in your daily life?

This is the first in a series that is based on the book, "The Expectation Gap" by Steve Cuss.
