Is God Real or Pretend?
Publisher: Black Rose Writing | Available: Kindle, Paperback
Is God Real or Pretend? is the story of young Franklin's engaging and enlightening journey to answer this age old question. Franklin's grandmother, Dr. Wendy Knowles, a professor of astronomy, first provides Franklin with the basic scientific means of determining what is real and what is not and how science distinguishes questions it can answer and those it cannot. Franklin's mission of discovery continues as he meets a kindly professor of Greek mythology who offers a historical-cultural prospective on the question and Franklin is introduced to the Greek Gods and their timeless myths.
Once armed with these new ideas, Franklin meets with representatives of the world's five major religions: Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian and Muslim. These knowledgeable teachers from each of the great religions charm and delight as they shine positive lights on their religion. Franklin asks probing questions, while learning to appreciate and admire the diversity and beauty of these religious beliefs and traditions. Ultimately, Franklin's dynamic school report on the immensity and magnificence of the universe becomes the backdrop for his questions about God.
This book is designed for everyone, young and old, religious or not, who wants to know more about these five great religions. It's the most unforgettable and exciting journey, one every thoughtful child (and the curious adults in their life) will enjoy.
