The author objectively and incisively asks questions of general interest about beliefs and practices of the major religions, and about phenomena in nature; and he uses his imagination to explore possible ramifications of the answers. He finds wondrous mysteries in simple things, hoping to arouse your curiosity, and to get you thinking and wondering about them too. In fourteen independent stand-alone topics with no prerequisites and with negligible overlap, he wonders such things as: ? Should the Bible include Books of Mohammed and Mormon? ? In heaven, are there strata whose benefits depend on how worthy their inhabitants are; and might hell be a stratum completely lacking Gods benefits, rather than a place of severe torment; and purgatory a higher stratum with less severe torment? ? Are ghosts, spirits and souls real, and, if so, are they the same thing? ? Are miracles only unusual natural occurrences for which we have no explanations?
