Reviews
John Bolt -- Calvin Theological Seminary "Who are we? Why are we here? What and how do we know? What does it all mean? This apologetic for the Christian faith in today's world is not so much an argument as it is concrete, experience-based, persuasive poetry drawing the reader into an exciting journey of discovery and meaning. A perfect gift for college-age students or others wrestling with the deepest questions of life." Charles Van Engen -- Fuller Theological Seminary "Here is a winsome, clear, concise, and inviting presentation of the basis for the Christian faith. . . . Persons of all ages and cultures who are asking deep questions about life's significance and purpose will find The Riddle of Life accessible, very contemporary, and profoundly meaningful."
