Wrestling with God is a natural part of the human experience. The Bible serves as the foundation for Western civilization. The sanctity of the individual is rooted in Christian values. Struggles and challenges are integral to personal growth. God often speaks to us in a still small voice. The journey from good to better is a continuous process. Transfiguration symbolizes our potential for transformation. Opting out of spiritual growth leads to personal peril. The book refutes the notion of soft Christianity.
