Synopsis

We all come into this world much like a blank slate, and we begin to write the things we experience and are taught upon the chalkboard of our lives. The way we think and behave, our internal belief systems and outlook on life are conditioned by the drawings on the chalkboard. Since part of what is drawn there is what we believe, it is imperative that we stop and consider why we believe it. This is the one and only life we have; therefore we owe it to ourselves to challenge our biases and to consider the deep questions about who we are, why we are here, and what our lives mean. These are the questions we must ask ourselves about the meaning and purpose of our existence. In this book, Dan Gallagher addresses some of the deep questions many people have when considering whether or not to follow Jesus. He addresses the three most common reasons why people reject the concept of God (or gods), which are: Science, Evolution, and Evil. He also looks into the Christian narrative concerning the existence of God, the condition of mankind, and the possibility of immortality, and shows that there are valuable arguments that one should consider before flat-out rejecting belief in the supernatural or a Higher Power. This book looks closely at the many factors involved as one explores a belief in the Divine. It gives attention to the various perspectives and worldviews commonly held today, and how they each attempt to explain the world around us from its creation to what we witness in our daily lives; and ultimately, it gives a solid argument for why the reader should consider Jesus.
