Finding Faith in Godless World
Alexander J. Basile
Paperback, 100 pp., $12.95
Society of St. Paul (April 10, 2008)

“How do I know if God exists?” “How does a person come to believe?” “What if I still have doubts?” This book finds answers – and ultimately God – through creative approaches: a visit to Las Vegas with French philosopher Blaise Pascal, examining the empty tomb with St. Peter and Mary of Magdala, and journeying the yellow brick road to meet the Wizard. In addition, cornerstone insights from St. Thomas Aquinas, Plato, St. Anselm and others assist the reader in finding answers from a Roman Catholic perspective.
