36 Arguments for the Existence of God
by Rebecca Goldstein |
BookBrowse Rating:
Reviewed by Judy Krueger.
|

What if mankind, with our huge brains and highly developed abilities to reason, could evolve a moral philosophy that makes life both comprehensible and livable without falling back on the outside influence of God? That is the idea addressed in Rebecca Newberger Goldstein's highly ...

Richard Hawke
I come to you as the author of my debut thriller, Speak of The Devil, a New York City-based roller coaster ride through three out of the five boroughs. My ongoing directive is to locate that line precisely between humor and drama and then hit the string so hard that both resonate at once. Hey, it's something to do.
I also toss out to you a mystery for you to solve and that we can talk about if you'd like (it's actually quite easy to do). Who else am I? The clues are all over the place. Get to work!
