Zacharias (Can Man Live Without God?) and Vitale build a strong case for Judeo-Christian faith. Zacharias unravels his own history and here attempts to make a case for joy, love, and peace through God and for all as central to Christianity. The authors argue that these tenets contradict the secular philosophies of atheism, scientism, pantheism, relativism, pluralism, humanism, and hedonism. They further state that Christianity teaches that humans have free will, and that when we sin through poor choices, we are forgiven through God's grace to live better. Actor Peter Berkrot brings extensive narration experience to the arguments and trajectory of the text. His exclamations, pregnant pauses, and stage whispers will hold listeners' attention.
VERDICT The author argue for a Christian answer to the meaning of life. Existential seekers can find satisfaction here, too.
