It Is Time to Redefine God

It is difficult for many people to make up their mind about the possibility that God exists or does not exist. Does it make any sense to simply believe what you are told about God if there is no physical evidence or any logical explanation for what you are told? This book is an honest, holistic approach to the concept of God, which focuses upon physical evidence, verifiable scientific facts, and logical arguments from a psychological perspective. Riaan Jacobs provides answers to many questions that people ask or are too afraid to ask, such as: Why do people believe that God exists? Why don't religious people and science-oriented people see eye to eye? Is God a physical being, and what is the Holy Spirit? Where will the kingdom of God be? This book will show the reader why realistic facts should be reflected within religion.
