Early in his ministry Bruce Tucker discovered that people frequently asked about the same tough issues of the faith.

Certain questions repeatedly surfaced. Every Christian encounters these issues in the first few years of their faith. These issues can be very emotional, especially to those who hold different convictions about the answers. These questions are also controversial. There is a considerable difference of opinion about the answers, and that is why the questions have not been resolved. Christians can not agree. Until they do, people will continue asking. Individuals desire to have some resolution. These questions have a practical impact on their lives. Few people ask about the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin. They simply don't care. It doesn't directly affect them. These issues do have an impact.

While volumes of books have been written about these issues, the fact of the matter is that most people neither want to read all of them, nor understand all of them when they do. They want something short, understandable, objective, and directed to the concerns that they have.

The questions are:

• How can evil and a loving God both exist?
• Can a Christian lose his or her salvation?
• How can God predestine people who still have a free will?
• Is healing guaranteed to all Christians?
• Can a Christian be demon possessed?
• Should one seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
• What are the mysterious gifts of the Holy Spirit?
