Product Description
This wide-ranging tome explores age-old questions, such as Does God exist? Is there life after death? Are we more than the biological machines science says we are? What is the nature of reality? Backed by five years of formal research and a lifetime of study, investigation, and analysis, the author works to answer these questions from a common sense perspective aimed at a modern-day audience.

Clearly written and with the lay person in mind, the author challenges the reader to accompany him on an engaging journey to arrive at the answers. Along the way, "travelers" learn many interesting facts about the origins of religious beliefs, examine pivotal developments in the history of Christianity, and delve into scientific theories that compete with religious doctrine for our hearts and minds, particularly those concerning the existence of God and an afterlife. These include quantum mechanics, current notions about the brain and consciousness, and findings from critical research in the controversial field of the paranormal.

The author encourages the reader to examine the evidence and then reflect on the dialogue and logically constructed arguments he presents. If you accept his invitation to join him in that quest, he asserts: "I feel excited for you, as you are about to begin an intellectual journey that will frequently astound you and challenge your worldview, a contentious trek from which I am convinced it is virtually impossible not to emerge deeply changed in how we view the world and what we call reality."
