Author Terry Scerine leads us through a journey of logic and reason to find the truth about our existence that applies to each and every one of us.
At some time or another, we all wonder about the real meaning of life and whether there really is a God.
You know that your life on earth, as you know it, will one day end.But then what? Will you enter another life of some form or another, or will you just cease to exist?
Wouldn't you like to know with some certainty what will happen to you afterwards? And how would that knowledge impact your life from this moment forward? Isn't it worth investigating further?
The God Factor is a short presentation of evidence and insights which lead the reader through a fairly thorough process of investigation into the existence of God and the chance of an afterlife.
Excerpt
Whether you're anything from a devout atheist to a born-again Christian (or anything else), I'm sure there's something in this book you've never thought of before or looked at the same way that will at least give you new insight, and quite possibly change your life. You should be at least thought-provoked.
So, let's start with a level setting, a common starting line. I want to start with one thing we can all agree on, and explore from there.
Is there really a God over each one of us?
Well, if there is no God, then obviously not.
But if there really is one sovereign, almighty, God or Higher Power or Creator or Maker or Intelligent Designer or Entity or Spirit in the Sky or Man Upstairs or whatever you want to call it, then it's a factor in all of our lives whether we like it or not. There's just no in-between.
Whether there is a God or not doesn't depend on your individual choice or chosen belief; it depends only upon whether there really is a most-high God over all of us. If there is, then it's a factor in all of our lives. Agreed?
Regardless of your beliefs, I'm sure you can agree that your life on earth will end someday, right? There will be an end to your life on earth as you know it. I know we may not like to think of it, but it's a pretty commonly accepted fact of life. It's a pretty safe bet.
We're talking about your own personal and definite future here. The great equalizer. It's the common ground we all have as human beings.
Everything in our present realm of consciousness, including our own lives, is finite. Here on earth, everything has a beginning and an end. One day your life on earth as you know it will end. It's just a matter of when.
I read your bio and you wrote, "I'd love to hear from you!" And then, I read your intro to this book telling us that you had insights that no one else has. From your bio, I see that you are a devout Christian and that your primary source of study is the Bible. You also give no credentials or formal study that would give you the authority to prove your information other than the Bible. You are joining countless others proselytizing for Christianity based on the Bible. I will not read your book. I have studied religion and philosophy and need to read no more. I am happy with my choice not to spend my life constantly involved with religion. Others may read your book, but you are competing with many, many other experts for readership on the same topic.

Intuitively, I know I've lived many lifetimes, and none more interesting than the one I'm living now. However, being born an old soul somehow did not excuse me from the same job I share with you and that is learning to craft a positive attitude about
