I continued to plow ahead seeking to garner ever more information about cosmology, evolution, the origins and nature of human beings, and comparative religions. I tried to keep an open mind during my pursuit of such knowledge, but also have to admit that I was often testing the tenets of my childhood faith against what I was learning.Reconsider your beliefs and open up a whole new world in Larkin Spivey's compelling new book, A Skeptic's Guide to God.Religious skeptics often find themselves approaching the topic of Christianity as a fact-finding mission-but more information doesn't seem to lead to belief in anything.With his no-nonsense approach, Spivey appeals to the skeptic's unquenchable thirst for knowledge by stressing the facts and logical appeals of one of the world's most influential religions.Chapter by chapter, A Skeptic's Guide to God takes reads through a journey of vivid storytelling and matter-of-fact discussion.While sharing his own personal story, Spivey also reconciles the seemingly incongruent issues of religion and science, clarifies the Bible, answers skeptics' most common objections to Christianity, and assists readers in finding the peace in life that only comes through reconciliation with God.

The saying goes: If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.Do Americans stand for anything? Or is America helpless in the face of the radical beliefs of others?America is NOT at war with Islam. Like it or not, however, it has been challenged to a war with Islamic jihadists abroad and within our own borders. Our military and law enforcement resources are vital in this fight, but inadequate to fully counter an ideological threat. There are philosophical and even spiritual dimensions to the conflict where the issue will have to be ultimately decided. Jihadists have demonstrated their willingness to strive for their goals for as long as it takes and to die for them if necessary. Is there anything so compelling for Americans? In this short book, Larkin Spivey answers this question, clearly and specifically. He appeals to every American, not just the religious or conservative, to consider what there is about our nation worthy of our support and even devotion. Every person needs to answer the question for him or herself: What do we stand for? Strong answers will be the only counter to the challenges that lie ahead to the system of government and way of life that we cherish.
