Not so long ago it was taken for granted that God exists. Today, there is a blindness to him even though he makes his presence known to all. The book begins by showing how better to recognize his presence and understand how he reveals himself to us. The next three chapters discuss how we move from an awareness of his presence to beginning to know him, and through a knowledge of him, begin to know what his purpose is for us and how our lives are shaped by that knowledge. Having seen how he reveals himself to us and how we know the world and see the world through different eyes, we then look at how to apply our new view in the face of a society that remains blind to this knowledge. Chapters 5-7 explore truth first from the standpoint of its existence, then in how to recognize its counterfeits, and finally to understand the consequences of its loss. Chapters 8-10 look at how and why being able to see God's hand in all aspects of life, and to center life on him by faith in his son Jesus Christ, completely changes life for the better. Non-Christians often hear this claim made by evangelists. If they ask why, too often the answer is in ""Christian-speak"" that is foreign to them. The intent is to bridge from the place where they are and explain how Christians have found peace in times of suffering, even joy in the most horrific circumstances, enabling them to give thanks in all things. In a sense, the book finishes where it started, by looking at who we truly are, what kind of world this is, and how God has made all into his glorious plan. ""If you believe that scientists are God-hating charlatans, this book may change your mind. Through heartrending real-life anecdotes, current events, biblical passages, and quotes from renowned scientists and theologians, Brett Callaway, a devout Christian and scientist himself, reveals that the true enemy in our battle is not science, but the adversary who fired the first shot with the words, 'Did God really say . . . ?"" --Chris Yavelow, author, speaker, educator ""In the tradition of his storytelling forefathers, Brett Callaway gracefully and easily tells the story of God's existence, his presence in this world, and how we are often blinded to the truth of this reality. And he does so in a refreshingly unassuming manner and in easy-to-read, straightforward language. We need more books like this!"" --Karl Johnson, Director, C. S. Lewis Institute, Chicago ""Dr. Callaway describes Godless 'postmodern, atheistic' processes men employ versus eternally beneficial processes where God and Christ have real authority. Crossroads of the Eternal is a dynamic place where all men live physically, emotionally, and spiritually, caught between the here and now and the timeless. Callaway astutely describes a yearning for the 'timeless' that is ingrained in all of us. This scholarly work offers excellent counsel regarding successfully satisfying that yearning."" --Matt Byers, senior advisor and evangelist ""With a passion for lost souls Dr. Callaway has provided a jewel for saint and sinner. America has turned her heart away from not only her biblical heritage, but God himself. Dr. Callaway describes what has caused our spiral downward as a nation, and provides vital biblical solutions for our return back to God. As Joshua proclaimed he and his family's allegiance to God, so must America choose who we will serve."" --Don Westray, pastor, Longstreet Baptist Church, Cumming, Georgia M.
