Growing up in rural Missouri as the youngest in a farm family, Pastor Harlan Kaden thought he lived in a microcosm of security and goodness. But as childhood gave way to adult thinking and experiences, serious questions arose concerning God, the church, the world, and life. Pastor Kaden reignites the deepest questions of humanity concerning God's presence and participation in each and every human life. Through storytelling he explores and debates God's existence and the meaning of life, giving way to clarity in understanding answers to the age-old question: Why am I here?

Too smart to believe in God? The twelve philosophers in this book are too smart not to, and their finely honed reasoning skills and advanced educations are on display as they explain their reasons for believing in Christianity and entering the Roman Catholic Church. Among the twelve converts are well-known professors and writers including Peter Kreeft, Edward Feser, J. Budziszewski, Candace Vogler, and Robert Koons. Each story is unique; yet each one details the various perceptible ways God drew these lovers of wisdom to himself and to the Church. In every case, reason played a primary role.

After spending several years in business and politics, I devoted the next ten years to study, service, and traveling the world. During this time I immersed myself in learning about life through scientific theories, psychology, religious traditions, the world of art, and spiritual experiences.

There is a moment many of us have known. You are standing at a kitchen window, or pausing beside a garden bed, or driving past a stretch of lawn kept green and tidy — and feeling, underneath it all, a question you cannot quite form. Something has been lost. Something is asking to be tended. Life is Relationship begins in that moment — and walks you gently forward from it.

Belief: surely it's a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today's rational, science-led culture? In today's science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous. But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital.

في الواقع، وكما ذكرنا ذلك سابقًا، تقترن درجة الوعي بمدى حساسية الكينونة. فكلما ازداد وعينا بالواقع كنا أكثر حساسية ضمنه، وستزداد، بذلك، قابليتنا لاختبار الشعور الكثيف بالفرح والمعاناة على حد سواء. إن نزعتنا إلى السعادة أو إلى التعاسة تنبع لاحقًا من تصوّرنا لحياة سعيدة، لأننا إذا اعتقدنا أن تحقيق السعادة يشترط عدم معرفة المعاناة، فسنتموقع آليًا، وعلى نحو من المفارقة، ضمن منظورٍ يُعزّز المعاناة بما أنّ الحياة لن تستجيب أبدًا لمثل هذه الانتظارات اللاواقعية، وسنكون بذلك في صراع دائم ضدّها.

You can argue about God forever, and not change your mind. Believers and non-believers often talk at cross purposes, both failing to grasp what is really going on when we argue about God. So where do we go when the facts run out? Philosophy. Braiding the thought of the Stoics, Spinoza, Kant and other leading philosophers together with meditations on religious experience, Christopher Insole takes us beyond the limits of reason to a place where we might find empathy and reverence for all of our fellow persons, each in the struggle to live a meaningful life.
