An instructive and entertaining book that addresses basic life questions. 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 seventeenth-century genius Blaise Pascal as a central guide, Morris explores the nature of faith, reason, and the meaning of life. His lucid reflections provide fresh, fertile insights and perspectives for any thoughtful person journeying through life.
A thought-provoking, timely word. Not only might it prove very helpful to students of apologetics but it may well introduce a new group of readers to the insights of Pascal. Morris is to be commended for bringing us this fresh look at one of the great thinkers of the past, a thinker whose thoughts are extraordinarily contemporary.
