Why Christianity and Bible-Belief Makes Sense

Does Faith Give Hope Beyond this Life?

SUBTITLE: "Does Faith Give Hope Beyond this Life?"

This book contains over 22,000 words and 18 chapters of commentary and opinions about Christian faith and belief in the Holy Bible and how these make sense in today’s world.
Among the subjects discussed are the arguments and debates that often arise between those who view all things that exist as being a product of an evolutionary process exclusively and those who see a creative power and intelligent design as being responsible.

Also included are commentaries from a Biblical view as to why evil exists in the world and why bad things happen to good people and to the innocent. Views in regard to God’s righteous judgments and capital punishments that were experienced by certain peoples as recorded in the Bible are also discussed.

Views and opinions from the perspective of the Holy Bible and Christian faith are included in the chapters of this book but do not represent a specific denominational viewpoint.
