Although man's most consistent question is "Why am I here? Is there a purpose and a point to life?" it's essential underpinning is the question "Is the world a creation? Is there actually a G-d?" Join me in my first book, as I take you on a journey through life, the universe, and everything to arrive at a decisive answer to life's most fundamental question. Why science CANNOT truly explain the science, but the Torah CAN. This book recently won international accord at the ReadersFavorite.com 2020 book awards contest. https://bookawards.com/book-award/hello-g-d

Having answered lifes most fundamental question in book 1 with a resounding "YES, G-d DOES exist", it's now time to turn to life's second most fundamental question: Does G-d know me? Does He have expectations of me? There are so many religions telling me so many different things! All of them claim to know who G-d really is, and what He wants from me. Is there some way of figuring out who has the truth? Yes, there is. Take my hand as we go on a journey through the fundamental philosophies of Deism, and all of the world's major religions to come face-to-face with our Creator. Do you have the fortitude to make this journey with me? Are you ready to meet your maker?
