This book is a practical look at faith, reason and problem solving for dealing with the common realities we face, navigating the gaps between what we know and what we don't--for all things visible and invisible. Thinking means linking ideas. Analytical problem solving is about finding "truth" objectively, regardless of feelings, strong opinions, past experiences or intuition; finding truth even when empirical evidence is lacking or impossible to obtain. No one sees reality in its entirety, yet people firmly believe things they can't prove. We use base premises to judge things, whether consciously or subconsciously. Like any good problem solving situation, it's important to drill down to the base premises of our thinking and then ascertain where they come from and how reasonable they are when pressed under deliberate questioning.

Ben Butera has been a strong evangelizer utilizing new media to implement the Great Commission. His efforts in online blogging and writing [have] enlightened both Catholics and non-Catholics. His newest endeavor in his new book is sure not to disappoint those looking to deepen their Catholic faith. I wholeheartedly recommend [it]to anyone looking to learn more.
Mark P. Shea, Author of By What Authority.
Somehow, we now live in a time that calls itself the Age of Science and Reason and attacks the Faith as opposed to Science--all while watching "Ghost Hunters", searching for engrams, and consulting runes. Ben Butera does a fine job of showing the way back to the re-integration of Faith and Reason through Jesus Christ: the Logos who invests Creation with his order and brings salvation and joy to the fallen race that broke it. Read this book and grow both wiser and smarter.

Ben Butera holds up a Catholic lens to the arguments used in the culture wars of our society and through the use of stories and effective analogies, he provides the keys to unlock the fallacies hidden in common arguments which pit Faith against Reason. A great tool for the New Evangelization!
