They have always informed his fiction. Now he examines their role in  his own life and spells out his own belief, in what is his most self-revealing work  to date. With characteristic honesty, Richards charts his rocky relationship with  his cradle Catholicism, his battles with personal demons, his encounters with men  who were proud to be murderers, and the many times in his life when he has been witness  to what he unapologetically calls miracles. In this subtly argued, highly personal  polemic, David Adams Richards insists that the presence of God cannot be denied,  and that many of those who espouse atheism also know that presence, though they would  not admit it to anyone—including themselves. Every follower of today’s battle between  faith and atheism, and every lover of David Adams Richards’ superb fiction, will  find \u003ci\u003eGod Is\u003c\/i\u003e revelatory.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I believe that all of us, even those who are atheists,  seek God—or at the very least not one of us would be unhappy if God appeared and  told us that the universe was actually His creation. Oh, we might put Him on trial  for making it so hard, and get angry at Him, too, but we would be very happy that  He is here. Well, He is.”   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Questions of faith, morality, the role of unseen forces  in our destinies, have been central to the fiction of David Adams Richards. Now he  directly addresses what these questions have meant to him in his own life, and what  he has come firmly to believe. He has always been a courageous and uncompromisingly  honest writer—but never more so than here.","brand":"Anchor Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219501052159,"sku":"9780385666527","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780385666527_s600x595.jpg?v=1782147444","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780385666527","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
