The Sanity Of Belief

We've all heard the arguments that Christianity is irrelevant, irrational and even immoral. But what if the Christian faith makes sense of all that matters? In this thoughtful, engaging book, Simon Edwards challenges the assumptions that may lead us to reject a faith and doubt something that we've never really had the chance to understand in the first place. From our need for meaning and significance, to our desires for truth, goodness, love and hope, he explores the things that matter to us as human beings and shows us why the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ might just make sense of them all. The Sanity of Belief is a fresh take on apologetics, faith and doubt, that will leave you with a stronger understanding of Christian belief and how it relates to today's world. It is ideal for anyone looking for a clear, down-to-earth introduction to Christianity, or for those wanting to reaffirm the foundations on which their faith is based.

Aids those struggling with religion and the belief in an almighty "God" by explaining what they need to think about before deciding which philosophical route to take in life.

A Call to Sanity is clearly written, sprinkled with dabs of humor and wit and offers logical arguments that debunk creationism, intelligent design, "God's" existence, pseudo science and claims of a supernatural realm.

Intelligence has ‘Seeds’ of its own extinction. 21st century wisdom bares the mechanism-process of compulsive insanity of humanity. This in turn lists out, how an individual can attain Personal Sanity in life-living, even amid madness of milieus. In the pathology lies the diagnosis of the methodology of cure; in the genetics of problem is embedded the genesis of solution. This is Rule of Causality. When you decipher the anatomy of human world insanity, prescription of individual sanity is charted out. This eBook logically deconstructs collective human hypocrisies and stupidities to objectively construct framework of lasting personal bliss. Humanity in general does not have the primary culpability of human world hypocrisies and stupidities, as insanity of humanity is coded in the way Reality unravels and expresses itself and the way the human consciousness is designed to perceive it. Still, the human culpability is colossal as despite this knowledge about Reality and Consciousness design being available since ages and now fully deciphered, humanity happily continues to repeat the same mistakes, refusing foolishly to learn from them. This too happens and shall keep happening till the inevitable extinction of humanity in foreseeable future as this too is very much the mechanism and process of Reality and its expression-perception in human world.

The critical knowledge of Reality, Human Consciousness and Cognition, along with objective, measurable understanding of the Cosmic Rule of Causality in contemporary scientific wisdom definitively establishes that Sanity Is Impossibility in human world. This knowledge then in its holism reflects happily on the fact that the very understanding of the causalities of insanity of collective humanity reveals the elements that can and should install personal sanity, poise, order and wellness symmetry in an individual. The core purpose of this eBook is to deliberate in detail about why Sanity is a Possibility only at personal and individual level and any aware and sincere persona can attain it. Naturally, this eBook also categorically lists out the mechanism and process of how an individual can attain his or her personal sanity and system, fully understanding as why this can happen, even when the human world continues with its ever-evolving hypocrisies and stupidities, till annihilation of humanity happens.
