The things that we are absolutely certain about--our own existence, being conscious, the inevitability of death, math calculations--are actually few and far between. Other things we're very certain about-that the sun will rise tomorrow, that our checks won't bounce, that it'll rain in the Pacific Northwest, that we won't get robbed--are based on probabilities and not absolute knowledge. Then there are the hundreds of sure things we take for granted that are in fact not so sure. This precarious reality gives some people anxiety. Artist and retired therapist Erik Douglas Johnson has compiled his third book of quotes, this time by religious thinkers, who accept the reality of doubt. Why? To quell anxiety. Regardless of how certain we are about various things at any given time, uncertainty is a fact of life. Accepting this reality beats the alternatives: fear, worry, ruminating, trying to control situations and people. With three volumes of FACES OF UNCERTAINTY in hand, the doubt adverse will find solace in the face of uncertainty. This is the plan; we can't actually be one hundred percent certain that these books will dispel anxiety. But being uncertain doesn't stop us from trying. Faith inspires action in the face of doubt.
