~Soundings~: Exploring the Depths of God and the Universe

A new dynamic has been discovered concerning the relationship between God and the universe.

You'll find it in the first verse essay of ~SOUNDINGS~, beginning with a statement, followed by two questions:

God, who is Ultimate Reality and Truth,

would not bring into existence

anything less than real or true, it would seem.

With this in mind, could the newly created universe-

the early space-time continuum-

have been anything other than it was?

Could the primordial light and elements,

with their forces of electromagnetism and gravity,

have been anything other than they were?

Thus begins a spiritual quest, ranging from the dawn of time to the summit of contemporary civilization. Embark on a journey with Frank L. Jordan III as he unravels some of the oldest known mysteries pertaining to God and the universe-mysteries involving the problem of evil, and of God's role in connection with death, accidents, natural disasters, and disease. Equipped with a new philosophy called derivism*, Jordan methodically chips away at the barriers between us and God, while pointing to a true avenue of healing ... an exalted way.
