{"product_id":"9781607467243","title":"Heaven: You Can't Get There From Here","description":"It has been said that the best books are the result of a lifelong passion for a subject where an author is able to synthesize the words of hundreds of sources into a cohesive picture that even a layman can understand.  If this is true, Heaven: You Canâ€™t Get There From Here, based upon just such a lifetime of research, will for the first time provide a clear picture for those that have also spotted the gaps that exist in a worldview based solely upon the Bible and religious teachings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the result of a 60 year search to reconcile the Bible and religious teachings with the evidence of evolution and the natural history of life on Earth.   The author collected articles and newspaper clippings over 6 decades and synthesizes them here to give doubters a clearer understanding of reality and a defense against the guilt of Original Sin.  You are, after all, a child of the universe and you have a right to be here without exception or apology to anyone.  Heaven: You Canâ€™t Get There From Here will make it clear that if you do your best with what you are given the universe will find no fault.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaised on a small farm the author was challenged to study the Bible from an early age by a kindly grandparent concerned for his â€œsalvationâ€?.  But each time he read the Bible, it left more questions than answers.  After discovering Robert Ardreyâ€™s African Genesis, the author realized there was even more about life on earth that the Bible didnâ€™t address.  Pulled into a lifelong pursuit of studying all the aspects that create the chasm between these two books, the author spent 60 years reading and collecting information to piece together a worldview that makes sense of it all and ultimately answers his Grandmotherâ€™s question, â€œwhatâ€™s it all for then?â€?","brand":"FastPencil, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157213430000,"sku":"9781607467243","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607467243_p0.jpg?v=1763830215","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607467243","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
