In this invaluable contribution to the continuing debate about spiritual perception, David Adams Richards provides an exhilaratingly fresh perspective and a tone more impassioned, heartfelt, and sometimes furious, than anything written about God by an atheist. David Adams Richards, one of Canada's most favorite and celebrated creators, has been wrestling with questions of morality, faith, and religion since he was a child. They may have always informed his fiction. Now he examines their role in his own life and spells out his own perception, in what is his most self-revealing work as of yet. With characteristic integrity, Richards graphs his rocky relationship with his cradle Catholicism, his fights with personal demons, his encounters with men who have been proud to be murderers, and the countless times in his life when he has been see to what he unapologetically message or calls miracles. In this particular subtly argued, highly personal polemic, David Adams Richards insists that the presence of God cannot be denied, and that lots of of these who espouse atheism also know that presence, though they would not admit it to anyone - including themselves. Every follower of today's battle between faith and atheism, and every fan of David Adams Richards' superb fiction, will find God Is revelatory. "I think that all of us, even those who find themselves atheists, seek God - or at least not one of us would be disappointed if God came out and informed us that the world was actually His creation. Oh, we would put Him on trial for rendering it so difficult, and get angry at Him, too, but we would be happy that He's here. Well, He's." Questions of faith, morality, the role of unseen pushes inside our destinies, have been central to the fiction of David Adams Richards. Now he directly addresses what these questions have meant to him in his own life, and what he has come solidly to trust. He is definitely a courageous and uncompromisingly honest article writer - but never more so than here.
