Summary:

Do you seek the truth? Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Are you skeptical of beliefs that people maintain merely "on faith, " yet you remain interested in the big questions of life? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic?If so, then philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to a series of universal truths about ultimate reality. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway-step by step, brick by brick-that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately, a vision of God.
