Many have contemplated and still do contemplate the mystery of existence, most specifically, the why question. Fifteen years researching and writing these two books has formalized my own contemplation into something more organized and coherent that can be more widely shared.

My job often requires writing clearly and succinctly about complicated and difficult subjects. The subjects of these books may be among the worst as for complicated and difficult, though they are possibly also among the more necessary. For that, confronting the intellectual challenges was highly satisfying.

Among various other authors, three I found most inspiring and influential in these book writing ventures were C.S. Lewis, Ravi Zacharias, and Phillip Johnson.
