Proof of God

Long have atheists tempted God with demands that He show Himself. But proving Himself would be egoistic -- the opposite of God. And atheists have no way of seeing the hole they dig for themselves. Yet this book offers solid proof -- not as an end unto itself, but as a springboard for the fulfillment of God's purpose.
Proof requires that we have either evidence or solid reasoning -- or both. And this book includes both, with discussions of cause and effect, form following function, theistic evolution, heroism versus cowardice and other forms of precision reasoning. This slender volume also includes evidence of our own spiritual nature, the conditions which govern our distance from God, and the fact that distance from God is reduced by matching His constant attributes -- unconditional love, perfect responsibility, utter humility and fearless confidence.
Each chapter includes a key concept, discussed in depth, plus arguments against the key concept, philosophical considerations and biblical considerations (including passages from scripture and how they are relevant).
Proof of God lives up to its name, but also gives the reader a foundational understanding of miracles and how they work to validate our relationship with the Heavenly Father.
