Why Am I Here? A Spiritual Framework for Understanding Human Existence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253531020)

What This Book Is

Why Am I Here? is a seven-chapter spiritual framework that takes the most important question a human soul can ask and gives it the most complete answer available - drawn from Scripture, from the deepest traditions of Christian theology, and from a remarkable insight about the nature of time itself that modern physics has confirmed and that the Bible has always described.

The framework begins with a simple but profound idea: God exists outside of time. He does not experience your life the way you experience it - moment by moment, one day at a time, uncertain about what comes next. He sees your entire life - every coordinate of it, from birth to death - the way you see a completed painting: all at once, whole, finished. The physicists call this the block universe. The Bible calls it omniscience. And understanding it changes everything about how we read our own lives.

Because if God sees your life whole - if he placed you in it at specific coordinates for specific purposes, knowing you completely before you knew yourself - then nothing about your life is an accident. Not the suffering. Not the waiting. Not the ordinary stretches that feel like they add up to nothing. And not the love, and the growth, and the small daily choices that are, in fact, forming the person you will be forever.
