God.Online: Seeking God in the 21st Century

In his book god.online: Seeking God in the 21st Century (Mead Publishing, October 2003, paperback, 137 pages), author and Information Technology professor James Wetherbe, PhD gives skeptics practical metaphors to assist them in the quest for spiritual truth. Wetherbe's book abounds with technological references, giving documentation to his own exploration of life's most important questions. The book looks at some of the most challenging questions about life and death, the existence of God, and faith topics. The book begins with four pivotal questions and attempts to aid the reader, not only in answering the questions, but also in deepening his own "God online" connection. Wetherbe reflects in the book's conclusion that "Seeking is a magnificent lifetime journey." For the many who find themselves at any point along the expedition towards an active and rich faith life, god.online would be an excellent map and reference manual with which to enjoy the trip.

I have often wondered if I could rationally prove to myself that God really exists. James Wetherbe has provided me an excellent approach with his book, god.online. The wireless Internet metaphor is an excellent way to gain a useful perspective on how we relate to God without physical means. His logical approach to finding faith through applying research theory and observation techniques enable me to use my own powers of reason to find my faith in God.

God.online provides a unique and very useful perspective on a logical and reasonable approach to finding faith in God. The book is full of enlightening anecdotes as well as an explanation of the academic research methods that Dr. Wetherbe applied in his search for finding faith. God.online has certainly provided me with a personal roadmap to confirm my faith in God. Harry Burkstaller (Houston, TX)
