Does God exist? In this modern, scientific age, is it still reasonable to believe in God? Does God cause evil? How can an "all-good" God allow the suffering of innocent children? In 65 brief, readable chapters, How to Make Sense of God answers these and many other basic questions about God's love and care, the pgift of human freedom, and the real power of prayer. Wijngaards shows clearly and convincingly why belief is, in fact, eminently reasonable in the modern world
Monsignor Shamus McKenna begins as a narrow-minded bureaucrat in Vatican service. The Pope commissions him to study natural law as it pertains to women. His quest for the truth brings him to explore options that he never considered before. He discovers Amrutha and meets extraordinary women who invariably push his boundaries of propriety. At every point his determination to follow natural law leads him into more murky and untested waters of sex, morality, heroism, and women's lives. "Engaging and endearing. I wept a good half-dozen times . . . Tongue-in-cheek humor brought me spontaneous laughter. This work is a cross between Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Don Johnson's The Harrad Experiment." - Dr Aaron Milavec, Vice-Principal Catherine of Siena College, Cincinnati Ohio. "Vivid scenes, haunting images, gripping action. And underneath, the ever puzzling question: what is that mysterious Law of Nature that Popes invoke to ban condoms, condemn gays and downgrade women?" - Elisabeth Price, correspondent of Catholics for a Changing Church "This is a lively and action-packed book. Despite or perhaps because of its polemical intent, the story succeeds in holding the reader's interest throughout. Altogether, an enjoyable and thought-provoking read." -Dr Pat Anne Pinsent, Senior Research Fellow, Roehampton University, London www.thepopesman.com
