About this title

Synopsis

This book is a product of my pilgrimage into the Christian faith. It is addressed especially to those who are new to it or outside it. The book raises questions I myself have asked over and over, questions like: Is there a God? How do you know? Who is man? What is the point of life? Hasn't modern science disproved the Bible? If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world? What's so special about Jesus? Why do I feel lonely when I have so many friends? What does it mean to be a Christian? Why is the Church so full of hypocrites? How can I love my neighbors when I don't even like them? What happens to us when we die? What happens to all the good people who are not Christian? The book also gives the answers I have found along the way. You will find some science, some philosophy, some poetry and theology in this book. I am sure that not all of it will be useful. I hope that some of it will be.
