Why I Believe

Last year there was a book I wanted to write in 2020―another anthology. That is in addition to a possible sequel to If It Hadn't Happened to Me...

Why I Believe will be a collection of testaments from various individuals as to why they believe in God, a creator, a supreme being or something greater than themselves. Personally I think that most beliefs must have a rational as well as emotional or spiritual side. My faith grants me both.

The idea for this book arose when my 12 year old neighbor told her mother, "I want to know who invented God. I want to know about God." The first half of her statement was to "push a few of her mother's buttons," but I think she truly is searching for answers. And what better way to respond than explaining why we even believe!

I'll be asking and accepting submissions of a paragraph up to 500 words in the near future.Regardless of whether one chooses to write, it's a good question to ask ourselves in any case.
