Faith is irrational?

I'm so thankful for Christian writers and thinkers like Ravi Zacharias, Francis A. Schaeffer etc. I'm so glad that faith need not be irrational. I feel more congruent with myself now somehow. I mean, there's always this need to understand, for things to make sense, at least reasonably, even if you don't have all the answers.

I am currently reading a book called "He is there and He is not silent" by Francis A Schaeffer. He talks about how we can be sure that there is a God due to metaphysically necessity, moral necessity and epistemological necessity. Quite deep stuff and one has to read to book to really follow his arguments. But wow, it's great stuff, especially if one has doubts about God, whether He's really there or not, how can we be sure, and what kind of a God is He?

Thankful to have come across this book and am thankful that there are answers to my questions and doubts. I've found that it's great, really a great thing to question our faith when we have genuine doubts rather than leaving things and just "trust" that things are just what they are. Because we need to be convinced and convicted if we're really going to give our lives to Him.
