Why God?

Desmond Ford

Fate has no eyes, but the eyes of the Lord are upon every square inch of the earth. Mortimer Adler, the genius behind Britannica's Great Books of the Western World, said that the most important question ever asked is Does God Exist? He declared that this towered above all other questions because it has more impact on all other issues of life. A moment's thought validates Adler's claims. Where there is no God, there is no man (only a meaningless clot of coincidental molecules), no meaning, no values, no forgiveness of sins, no hope, and no immortality. This book sums up the current logical and scientific evidence for God's existence, and then illustrates the fact of divine sovereignty as demonstrated in well-known lives. The experiences of John Newton, William Carey, Hudson Taylor, Charles Spurgeon, Gladys Aylward, Adoniram Judson, Martin Luther are chronicled with emphasis on events that statistically are beyond chance. Every reader will here find encouragement and hope to successfully meet the challenges of everyday life.
