About this title

Synopsis

Do We Need: A New Idea of God? presents a fresh view of the divine as the Life-Force behind the universe’s ongoing struggle, inviting readers to reconsider faith with clarity and courage.

This nonfiction work questions traditional images of God and argues that the cosmos’ ceaseless effort isn’t just an accident. It urges readers to connect the drama of life with a rational, grounded sense of the divine, rather than relying on mystery or distant miracles. The discussion centers on how view of God fits with what we now know about life, the universe, and human experience.

• Reframes God as the Life-Force at work through the cosmic struggle.
• Challenges the idea that suffering and world events require a mystery to sustain faith.
• Seeks a rational, humane understanding of divinity that supports courage and ethical living.
• Helps readers evaluate old beliefs in light of contemporary knowledge about life and the universe.

Ideal for readers who seek a thoughtful, accessible exploration of God that speaks to modern questions about meaning, science, and morality.
