Life's Ultimate Question: Does God Exist?

Life’s Ultimate Question: Does God Exist?

Why are we here? What is our place in the universe? These questions have been asked for centuries. But they all revolve around what is perhaps the most fundamental question of all: Does God exist?

What question has the greatest bearing on your family, your relationships, on everything you do? That question is: Does God exist?

If there is no God, then we are free to choose how we'll live and how we'll treat one another. But if there is a Creator, that affects our choices.

This guide explores:

  • What science and the universe tell us about God.
  • The truth about life's purpose.
  • How to start seeing God in your life.

In this guide you'll find many points that lead to one inescapable conclusion: The universe is the result of an intelligence far greater than anything we can imagine.
