It frames a widespread desire for reality as a response to hollow conventional Christianity and modern cultural restlessness. Drawing on biblical voices and reflections by authors such as Bernadine Bishop, Colin Wilson, and Pascal, it argues that searching for God addresses inner conflict, disillusionment, and misconceptions about faith.

 \nThis is a question which many have asked.'My soulthirsts for God,for the living God’,cried the psalmist(Psalm 42:2).‘Oh,that I knew where I might find him’,complained Job(Job 23:3).'I sought him,but found himnot;I called him,but he gave no answer³,recounts thebride in the Song of Solomon(Song 3:1).Michel Quoistexpresses the feelings of many:  \nLord,do you hear me?.….  \nLord,I can no longer find my oun door.I grope around blindly,  \nI knock against my ozon walls,my own boundaries.I hurt myself,I am in pain.…  \nLord,Lord,do you hear me?Lord,show me my door,take me by the hand.Open the door,Show me the way,  \nThe path leading to joy,to light.But,Lord,do you hear me?Prayers of Life Logos Books  \nWhy is this search for the reality of God so important?First,there is today a general restlessness.If there isdisillusionment concerning conventional established  \n8 My God is real  \nChristianity,there is also dissatisfaction with what isapparently the only alternative.Colin Wilson,a con-fessed rebel against the Establishment,states that he is stillsearching for a 'perfect freedom':'We need a new religionto unite us and give us purpose..my deepest interest isreligion.My deepest need-to create my own.'In otherwords he,together with the great majority,is searchingfor reality.We see this restlessness expressed in pop songsand modern films,whether by the Beatles or Bergman.  \nAccording to Pascal there is a conflict between reasonand the passions.If only man had 'reason without pas-sions...if he had only passions without reason ..buthaving both,he cannot be without strife,being unable tobe at peace with the one without being at war with theother'(Pensees No.412).The conflict is revealed in sexuallicence,experiments with drugs,and the persistent searchfor an ‘ultimate'experience.All this is simply an attemptto discover the true meaning of life.  \nSecondly,in the minds of a great many people,there isa distorted image of the Christian faith.When my fatherdied I was going through some family papers and pos-sessions,and I came across an old painting of one of myancestors.It looked rather dusty,and in my impatience Iwanted to throw it into the dustbin,where it seemed tobelong.As far as I was concerned it was a useless relic ofbygone days.Many have the same impatience withChrist","cbCaim44yGM5Sj7V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim44yGM5Sj7V","pdf",5408506,100,"English","# Introduction\n## I The man who is God\n## 2 Sin; a Christian neurosis?\n## 3 Hell: and a God of love?\n## 4 The cross: a big mistake?\n## 5 The resurrection: Christ our contemporary?\n## 6 The cost: no life of my own?\n## 7 Conversion: escape from reality?\n## 8 Commitment\n## For further reading","[{\"question\":\"Why does the introduction emphasize a desire for reality?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that many people feel disillusioned with hollow forms of established Christianity and are dissatisfied with the alternatives, creating a widespread restlessness to find something real.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text explain the search for God in relation to inner conflict?\",\"answer\":\"It uses Pascal’s idea of conflict between reason and passions to describe human strife and points to attempts at “ultimate” experience as part of seeking life’s true meaning.\"},{\"question\":\"What misconception about Christianity does the introduction address?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the distorted image of Christianity as something dusty or outdated, suggesting that people may prematurely dismiss it as a useless relic before discovering its true value.\"}]","MY GOD IS REAL - Introduction | PDF",1790609769,252]
