The book is written in a fun, flow of consciousness "diary-type" style format and was meant as a 25th Anniversary Gift. It contains effective actions that make a loving relationship work in real-time. It is written from experience and from the heart, combining love and romance with spirituality, travel, and adventure!

This was done in the hope that it may inspire, give ideas, or help someone to have an incentive to believe in true love and create a reality for their own dreams to come true. Perhaps then, they too can pass it on to help the world become a brighter place.

To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
