Overcoming the Five Obstacles to Assurance

What do an ancient Jewish King, an entire New Testament church, and a poor English tinker have in common? The answer is a fierce battle with assurance-doubt. King David, the Ephesian church, John Bunyan, and countless others have all wrestled with the assurance of salvation. In this book, Whalen deftly weaves in the work of giants in the fields of theology, philosophy, psychiatry, and psychology as he identifies the root causes of assurance-doubt and explains how struggles with assurance may become a devastating and long-lasting problem. More importantly, as the title suggests, he also reveals how these obstacles to assurance can be overcome.
