Bringing Heaven Down to Earth,

About the Book

This book represents a series of article, 50 to be exact, that I have written during the past few years and have been published in a number of popular online Websites. They are based on my extensive inquiry, reading, and reviewing many books about the subject of God and religion. These articles exemplify the evolution of my thought and opinions regarding the two most important topics of our life, God and religion. I hope you will find them enlightening, informative, pragmatic, and worthy of your time.
