A candid account of Brooksby’s soul-searching journey that zeros in on poignant humanity, Certain Uncertainty is a devotion –– in equal measure –– for the tangible mortal experience and the untouchable mystery of the Kingdom that can only be attained through faith in Christ.

I have had several family members and close friends go through faith crises—and a few of them are still traveling that difficult journey. Not until I read this insightful book by Amy Brooksby did I even begin to understand what they were experiencing and how I could possibly help. Amy’s book is a powerful tool that helps shed light on the delicate inner workings of a faith crisis, not only for those who are going through it themselves but for those loved ones and leaders who want to understand. I gained such perspective!

A particularly effective part of her book are tips and suggestions for leaders and others whose desire is to be of genuine help to those who are struggling—not the typical “Sunday School” answers, but honest, hard-hitting, workable ways to make a difference. Though I haven’t experienced a faith crisis myself, I can only imagine that this is the book I would want to have at my fingertips to guide me through what must be a confusing, uncertain, and even frightening experience.

Amy takes us on an authentically rich faith journey as she outlines a path for all of us in our continuous lived experience of evolving faith. Uncertainty then, as Amy explains, is a necessary addition in creating the atmosphere needed to find rest, peace, and light in our worshipful experience and relationship with the Divine. I recommend Certain Uncertainty as a must-read for anyone who desires to build upon their foundations of faith in a way that keeps adding to their spiritual journey.

Certain Uncertainty by Amy Brooksby is a well-written journey of her personal challenges to her faith and her enduring quest for reconciliation. Her voice of compassion and relativity is genuine and positive—she skillfully shares examples of her own life and family and those of others to help readers navigate their own passages through the trials of our mortality. I highly recommend this book to one and all—wherever you are in your life journey, this book has potential to bolster your faith and guide your life forward to a place of greater understanding, peace, and light.

Certain Uncertainty is an honest and courageous step back to see the full tapestry God is weaving—even during the “shift” of doubt, when the threads begin to gray and fray. With insight and steady conviction, Amy reminds us that our faith journeys are part of a larger design only God could tailor. Each chapter is a measured stitch of perspective, pointing us back to Christ—the One who works purpose into every setback and stitches enduring love into the fabric of our hearts. You’ll walk away with restored hope—and a renewed trust in the One who’s still holding the needle.

This book is a gift—for those disoriented by disbelief and for ecclesiastical leaders alike. Amy’s story, raw and relatable, offers healing balm for wounded faith. She takes a novel approach: a faith crisis is not a problem to be solved, but an ongoing, deeply personal journey—one that can lead to compassion, resilience, and a more mature, nuanced understanding of the gospel. Her candor and vulnerability will touch your heart, and her determination to stay on the gospel path—despite uncertainty—will inspire you.

Certain Uncertainty has served as a beacon of hope and direction in my life as I’ve faced personal faith challenges. Amazingly, it has simultaneously enlightened me with ideas to help my loved ones navigate their own trials of faith. As we are all on our own individual faith journeys, I attest this book is a must-read for everyone.
