Nice idea if overall a bit repetitive through this book.
I really think this author had something going at the beginning of the book, even if i think that he could have worked a bit harder to not turn everything around into god exists because he meant everything to happen exactly as it does. It would have been nice to get even just ONE answer that wasn't exactly that in other words.
Overall it was a nice idea though and if you need a bit of a light hearted read about the topic this one is not a bad one to pick up.

I thought this was a fascinating book in the style of a modern Chesterton.
Stedman starts with almost light hearted topics such as horror movies, music and art and gradually draws closer to end with topics such as pain and suffering, lasting love and commitment each time showing us - believer and non-believer - alike how God can be seen in each topic.
I really enjoyed the book. There are a few pieces of light hearted banter and jokes but much of the book is serious and I found my philosophy training very useful as the book drew nearer to its conclusion. That is God can be found in everything.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

I found this a very intriguing book. Written as a series of 31 essays, the book looks at many aspects of ourselves and our world to show how they provide evidence for belief in God.

I'm deeply impressed by Stedman's thorough knowledge of philosophy, his wide-ranging reading, and his thorough research. While it is very easy to read the book an just take in his lovely writing, the attentive reader will see that, almost always, a great deal of thought has gone into what is written.

Much thought has also gone into the organization of the topics. It isn't just a matter of grouping like with like. In addition to this he carefully leads the reader from looking at simple belief in a god (theism) to a thoroughly Christian idea of a personal God and Savior. His arguments in the earlier chapters are so effective that they are convincing on a human level, even though we know from his introduction that he is a believing Christian.

I also liked that he begins and ends each chapter will a quote or a conversion story. He also sprinkles quotes throughout and not always from people you'd expect to see in a book of this type. This is one way that his reading shows up.

Other evidence of this is his thorough-going orthodoxy. Readers who appreciate CS Lewis' idea of "mere Christianity" will love Stedman's viewpoint which is free of many of the tendencies of evangelical writing.

I highly recommend this book to both believers and non-believers alike.
