Nicky Gumbel offers an engaging, insightful, and accessible response to the tough questions that surround faith and Christianity in the modern world. Searching Issues is suggested for all who are hosts or helpers for an Alpha small group.

Nicky tackles topics such as: Why does God allow suffering? What about other religions? Is there a conflict between science and Christianity? Is faith irrational? and more. This program creates an environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends, family and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share their point of view.

Alpha makes it easy to invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's biggest questions in a safe and respectful way. Alpha's approach to hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone, especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal, short teaching, and small group discussion.
