FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Does God really exist? Or is He just a grandiose delusion passed down
through the millennia to help us deal with our nagging need to find a
purpose for our existence? The author grew up in a believing household,
never questioning the existence of God, but as he grew older and more
interested in his faith, he developed a driving need to know whether or not
his faith was justified. A totally blind faith, one that couldn't be
supported with any hard evidence, just wouldn't do. If God was real, then He
must have left a trail of evidence for a rational thinker to follow. But if
there wasn't any trail to follow, then all faith would be blind, and any
faith would do as it would become little more than a set of guidelines to
follow in an attempt to lead a spiritual and moral life. The author began
his exploratory journey with a set of questions that needed to be answered.
Do any of the world's religious scriptures reveal information that has
parallels in scientific discovery? Do any of the world's religious
scriptures offer specific prophesies that have unfolded in recorded history?
And lastly, did any of the world's religious scriptures provide a blueprint
for living that could drastically change one's life from the inside out? As
he sought answers to these questions, he discovered an overwhelming amount
of supporting evidence, but it came with a catch: it all pointed in one
decisive direction.
