Synopsis
Do you have trouble believing in God? Or do you believe in God but have trouble justifying your belief? Or are you among those who would like to believe but have trouble embracing organized religion in this age of high technology?
You're not alone. Author Tom Harpur, religion editor of the Toronto Sunday Star, explores these issues with his readers. His replies to their most troubling questions form the essence of this intriguing book - questions as far-ranging and provocative as is belief in God unscientific? Is the only path to salvation through Jesus? What about people of other faiths? Is God always conservative and staunchly supportive of the status quo? Is the Bible as the Word of God a credible belief today? Why worship? Is there life after death? Does God hate women? Why is there so much evil in the world?
With this engaging book, you can rediscover your spirituality and renew your belief in a loving God.

From the Inside Flap
arpur asked the readers of his syndicated newspaper column on ethics and religion for help with some research. He invited them to submit brief descriptions of their stumbling blocks to faith, spirituality, and religion. Soon scores of letters flooded in from readers who would like to have a vital faith in God (regardless of denomination or religion) but honestly cannot because of some doubts or difficulties. C.S. Lewis's <i>Screwtape Letters</i> was the guide for thoughtful Christians in the seventies. In a similar manner, Tom Harpur paves the way for today's seekers. He replies to some of these most troubling questions in his book, <b> <i>The Thinking Person's Guide to God.</b> </i> Is belief in God unscientific? Is the only path to salvation through Jesus? What about people of other faiths? Is the Bible as the Word of God a credible belief today? Why is there so much evil in the world? Does God hate women?<b>About the Author</b>Tom Harpur, columnist for the <i>Toronto
