Quão diferente viveríamos se acreditássemos que cada evento de nossa vida - desde o alegre ao trágico e ao mundano - fosse parte de um desígnio meticuloso e intencional no qual todos os elementos estão interconectados com uma precisão de tirar o fôlego? Essa é a pergunta que Ravi Zacharias, autor bestseller e palestrante internacionalmente conhecido, responde neste livro.

I have heard this author a few times on the radio, so I was interested in reading this when I saw it on the shelf at the library. I enjoyed it, especially his personal stories. The answers to the twenty-five questions at the end were a good review of the whole book. ( )

I was amazed at how the author could take an idea I already had and put it into words that not only crystallized the thought but added to my understanding of it. I will definitely be reading other books by Ravi Zacharias in the future. ( )

I'm bias and really love Ravi Zacharias. This book was full of interesting tidbits of his many personal experiences in life and many valuable quotes and references to substantial works in various areas of study. His table of contents outline all those key issues of one's thinking that show be on a list of "things that really matter" when searching for meaning in life; Your DNA Matters, Your Disappointments Matter, Your Calling Matters, Your Morality Matters, Your Spirituality Matters, Your Will Matters, Your Worship Matters, Your Destiny Matters. Each chapter is world of its own dressed with a wealth of knowledge and insight. This is beyond a self-help book, or even an inspirational book. This book really challenges one to think (assuming you do really believe in the One True God of the Universe) ways to recognize and verify His awesome hand in working in your life. Dr. Zacharias really brings his points home by writing in a more personal level rather than focusing solely on theological and philosophical rhetoric.
Naturally as an world-leading apologists he referenced and cited many works of philosophy, science, and theology, but the information wasn't overbearing and balanced enough to draw in the mind of the most ordinary and common person. I did find myself often checking back to the many subtopics to remind myself exactly what was at hand. It was difficult to stop in the middle of a chapter and resume where you left off without having to backtrack several pages. This may be due to the fact I was reading this book casually over the course of two weeks. Nevertheless, I do believe I would want to re-read this book in the future. It's a definite keeper. ( )
