The Reason For Life: Why Did God Put Me Here?. This item is unavailable.The Reason For Life: Why Did God Put Me Here?

The prominent philosophy professor Dr. Peter Kreeft of Boston College once said: Every great philosopher has philosophized about it. Every great writer has written about it. And every active person has acted on it. It is the quest for the summon bonum, the greatest good, the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, the answer to the question: Why was I born? Why am I living? In this book I seek to answer these questions recognizing that if there is a God out there, why did he put me here? What is the reason for my earthly existence? I hope the insight in this book might enable you to understand what is the reason for life. -Richard E. Simmons III
