Crux Matters by J. M. Gheen

In the coming pages, we will assemble a framework you can use to address life’s biggest questions, including:

• Who is God and what does He have to do with you and me?
• Why does the world look and act the way it does?
• What are we supposed to be doing with our lives?

You might be wondering how on Earth a little book like this will be able to provide thoughtful answers to those questions and others. The reason is that this little book is based very carefully on a much bigger book – the Bible. However, we are not going to look at a bunch of Bible verses and try to come up with nice ways of applying those verses to our lives. Call me skeptical, but I do not expect a thinking person to bend his or her worldview only because I can present a relevant quote followed by a verse reference. If it were that easy, we could just as well be seeing major religions based on Shakespeare.
