No matter how old you are, the big questions keep coming up---questions about life, death, God, religion, the nature of faith, the formation of an adequate worldview, and the meaning of it all. Morris takes a new look at those old issues in this entertaining and instructive book. Relating numerous personal anecdotes, incorporating intriguing material from the films of Woody Allen and the journals of Leo Tolstoy, and using the writings of the 17th-century genius Blaise Pascal as a central guide, he'll help you philosophize about your life, enjoy the process, and perhaps even make sense of it all. 208 pages, paper from Eerdmans.
