About the Author

Michael Hays has been a follower of Jesus since 1978. He was a licensed denominational minister for over twenty years. He has degrees in physics and engineering. He has been involved in teaching and public speaking for most of those years.

From motorcycle racing and scuba diving off Hawaii to seeing people healed and lives transformed by the power of Jesus, life has always been an adventure. He likes to communicate that through all the ups and downs of life, Jesus is a faithful, generous, kind, and majestic Savior, always calling us forward and upward.

From the beginning, Michael’s vision has been global. He says it is important to start, even if you don’t get far. There is no shortage of people to talk to or even debate with, and a world in need of the truth. Over the last few years, he has seen his audience becoming global. This book is the culmination of forty years of relentless questioning and seeking and finding.

The Back Cover Statement

The world is drowning in a shoreless and bottomless ocean of conflicting beliefs. Almost every conceivable theological, philosophical, ideological twist and turn is in play. Truth has become a rare treasure. Never before have so many people been so informed and so detached. The good news is that you can know for sure and you can make a difference.

The purpose of the book is to introduce a biblically solid and objective way of thinking that gives the Christian a proper foundation and advantage for managing encounters with friends, family, work, and classroom. Thinking like a Christian, and thinking and acting like Jesus should be the norm. Each chapter is a different approach to some older and newer methods.

The truth is that all of reality proves the existence of the Triune-Creator God, and without Him, nothing makes sense. Reality either rests on the absolute God or subjective relativism. There is no neutrality as much as some try to pretend. All ground is common, but none is neutral. Today, the battle lines could scarcely be clearer.

America is at a tipping point. Where the roller coaster goes is in the hands of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is my attempt to make a difference in a world that is increasingly chaotic.
Peace and blessings to you

Each chapter could be a book in its own right. The purpose here is to offer a sufficient introduction.
