Official synopsis Publisher
This book is concerned with the experience of real believing. The author examines what it means – and how it feels – to get in touch with the kind of believing you do with your deepest self, down deep where your primeval feelings flow. The thinking part is not all that hard. I can think of arguments for God in my sleep. It is the feeling part that comes hard, the part that lets you know in the deep places of your soul that it is alright, even when your head tells you that it is all ghastly.
