Book Description
This book is not an evangelical diatribe which seeks to convert anyone to Christianity and it does not advocate any religion. Instead, it's universal appeal is to all denominations and faiths, non-believers and believers, as well as agnostics. It simply asks you to take the time to smell the roses, witness the miracles of Nature, and come to your conclusions as to whether everything in Nature is a result of some big bang theory (evolution) or God's Creation, however you conceive of your God. The title mainly attempts to influence your mind and thought process to encourage you to think about your surroundings, and focus on all living things which co-exist in your environmental habitat. The incentive will be that you derive your own observations and opinions about all living things the way they are or appear to be. On the contrary, this book is not a complex, esoteric, or profound dialog but a discussion of the generalities of life. The hope is that you, the reader, will take a journey into the realm of wonder, including the visible and invisible, and assess the big picture or the forest for the trees, creating your own conception of reality. It encourages you to not wait, however, till the time has expired for free thought and your coherent ability, at that juncture, to seek answers. Instead, it attempts to motivate you to derive answers in the interim period between the dawn and dusk of your life and encourage you to engage in a conversation about God, Life, and Nature now.
