There are so many types of belief systems present in the world today that they cannot all be right. However, in spite of this, our common craving for a God makes a very convincing argument for a Higher Power. The only real question is how do we separate the fact of a “God” from the myths that have shaped our lives? This book attempts to find some answers.
Allan, I just finished your book and what a wonderful read! Not only was it entertaining, it was also very informative!
All the best, Georgia S.
