"Whether by design or by chance," Terryl and Fiona Givens write, "we find ourselves in a universe filled with unknown. We encounter fascinating arguments for a Divinity that is clearly a childish projection, for prophets as scheming or deluded imposters, and for scripture as very much wonderful fiction. But there is also compelling evidence a glorious Divinity presides above the cosmos, that His angels are strangers we have entertained unawares, and this His word and can are made express by using a sacred cannon that is never definitively finished. Whatever we choose to embrace, to be attentive to, is the purest representation of who we live and everything we love. That's the reason faith, the decision to believe, is the final examination, an action that is favorably loaded with moral value." As humans, we live, like the poet John Keats, "straining at contaminants of light amid a great darkness." And yet, the authors summarize a version of life's meaning that is realistic - and radically resonant. It instructs of a God whose heart and soul beats in sympathy with ours, who establish His heart after us before the world was produced, who fashioned the Earth as a place of individual ascent, not exile, and who has the desire and the capability to bring the complete human house again.
