About the Book
By taking seriously a woman's question, "When does the fun begin?" this book invites us to take seriously the fundamentally human challenge to live fully as proper human beings.
The author sees the gulf between religion and reason as a major tragedy of the 20th century. This book reflects the struggle to live with integrity in both worlds. It suggests the answer is to "build on a foundation of truth" and "dance to the melody of God's love"
About the Author
War and the early awareness of mortality challenged the author's generation to learn what life is all about. Because it is the primary religious question, he spent his life as a pastor, serving both rural parishes and the university world. Serving in the North Dakota Senate and on the DeKalb County Illinois Board he learned the practical value of philosophy. Many have asked why he became a pastor, but his concern for honest inquiry into questions of meaning and purpose still drive him in retirement. His thinking has been challenged and nourished by a great variety of people.
