Help! I’m Losing My Faith in God

In Help! I’m Losing My Faith in God, Tom Sugimura helps readers navigate a spiritual crisis so they can build a solid foundation on Christ. The book is deeply personal, beginning with Sugimura’s own faith crisis, where he describes a season in which he was shaken and felt like he was sinking.

The book begins by addressing the difference between inherited faith and accepted faith, approaching the topic of deconstruction with pastoral warmth and wisdom. Sugimura offers gospel-centered responses to personal suffering, the fear of fickle friends, the pursuit of worldliness, and prideful thinking. I was especially encouraged by his emphasis on delighting in Christ, not just pursuing intellectual understanding.

Christ, the Foundation of Our Faith

While acknowledging that church leaders can sometimes let us down, Sugimura reminds readers that we are not meant to hold onto our faith alone. He asks his readers to turn to trusted friends and mentors for support. The book concludes with a call to trust God, stand on the solid rock of Christ, and rely on His Word.

I highly recommend this book for youth and youth leaders, as it thoughtfully engages the real questions and doubts that I have seen many young people face today. When faith is often challenged and deconstruction is increasingly common, this book gives readers a stronger, more resilient foundation in Christ.
