Understanding the Truth about God Theodore M Yocum Jr Lulu Press ISBN 978-0-6151-6856-2 Non-Fiction, Religion Reviewed by Frederick Noronha

In its 171 pages, this book focuses on various aspects of religion, from a Christian-influenced perspective.

Besides explaining traditional issues, it also tackles questions like "Why does God allow 'bad' things to happen?" and "Why did God make different races, languages, etc.?"

("It is rather strange to me how mankind can think that "God has a hand in everything", and then just blame all the "bad things" on God".... "The botom line is that it is God's Intent to give us happiness, by giving us so many choices, that we could choose what made us, as an individual, happy.")

If you're very religious, try this out. But then, it may or may not fit your own beliefs.

Some arguments include: "The Old Testament, the New Testament and the Qur'an are the Three "Books" of God. If you are to believe that any one of these is more important or trumps another, then you are truly in error."

This is one book that was slow to trudge through; maybe my own perspectives on religion (and experiences with it) are to blame.
