How To Deal With Doubts and Doubters: Actual Experiences With Troubled Souls - Henry Trumbull (Audiobook)

When doubt feels louder than truth, where do you turn?

How to Deal With Doubts and Doubters (1907, Revised 2025) by Henry Clay Trumbull opens the door to real, heart-level conversations with troubled souls—men and women who feared they had gone too far, committed the “unpardonable sin,” lacked true faith, or could not feel what they thought a real Christian should feel. These are not theories, but actual encounters drawn from decades of ministry as a chaplain, pastor, and personal worker.

Through vivid stories and clear, Christ-centered counsel, Trumbull shows:

• How to help those who focus on what they don’t believe learn to rest in what they do believe
• Why endlessly examining your feelings destroys assurance—and where to look instead
• How to speak to people who think they must “feel something break inside” before they can come to Christ
• How to comfort believers tormented by fear of the unpardonable sin
• Why waiting to be “good enough,” or to “feel ready,” keeps many outside the church and away from obedience
• How to think wisely about miracles, providence, and spiritual existence in a skeptical age
• Why enjoying God’s service and prayer is not a spiritual danger, and when lack of enjoyment may simply be physical

Whether you are wrestling with doubts yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this classic 1907 work offers warm, practical help. Trumbull refuses shallow answers. Instead, he patiently leads doubting, sensitive souls away from themselves and back to the living Christ—where lasting rest is found.

Ideal for pastors, counselors, small group leaders, and any Christian who wants to deal gently and wisely with wounded consciences.
