There are pivotal times in history when an unknown writer will produce something that will turn general thinking upside down. Now is one of such period. Author Edwin C. Talbot's book outlines the reason and purpose that God created the universe and humanity's role in it. His work will challenge readers' preconceptions and perhaps cause them to review the contemporary perceptions in this regard. It unapologetically establishes God's authority over this world and the next, and provides the reason and hope for why humanity is here and the purpose for it all. Through his book, Talbot shares to his readers what has been shown to him. The answers provided in the pages of Why Are We Here? have brought closure and peace to him in his life and it is his desire to pass this on to others.
