Book Synopsis

Science explains "What?" and "How?" Philosophy and Theology explains the "Why?" of our existence, which requires Truth, Understanding and Faith (Trust).

This book is a guide that builds a bridge between what many believe and what skeptics' question, using theories and discoveries in many newly explored areas. We are at a special time in human history because of recent scientific breakthroughs that are changing mistaken theories by "experts." Relevant texts include materials compiled by us during the past half-century.

We not scientists, philosophers, or theologians. We are "thinkers," who wish to share with you "Words of Wisdom," from scholars that we found fascinating. The major building blocks of this edifice are what Scientists, Scholars and Scripture contributed. We select, paraphrase, interpret, and summarize what they wrote, while fashioning a few ideas of our own, and bring it together into a style that this generation may find suitable.

Throughout this book we have tried to faithfully present a balanced dialogue-both pro and con-on difficult topics, particularly regarding today's leading ideologies. There is no real search for truth for anyone standing outside generally agreed definitions, assumptions, without considering accepted facts, traditions, and communities of truth seekers.

Today's more educated and skeptical young adults are vulnerable to various peer-pressures, and mass media blitz that attack actual truths, and historical traditions. Hopefully, this book will provide "Words of Wisdom" to help defeat some of these false ideologies that have become "truths" in many of today's text books. To be sure all of the burning issues of our times will not be answered fully by this work, but at least a dialogue might have begun for sincere truth seekers, that will empower them against many false ideologies of our times.

Review Quotes

CONSEQUENCES was awarded Five Stars by Readers' Favorite. Truth & Consequences (updated new version) is now available, worldwide

"I can't begin to tell you how timely and important Consequences by Robert and Miriam Fertig is. What I can tell you is that it is extremely well organized and very well written. If you are a thinker and you worry or you are curious about the headlines that emphasize the current conflict between the West and radical Islam, you should read Consequences. If you are concerned about the rhetoric and fear of some politicians who suggest this is an all-out struggle between all versions of Christianity and Islam, then again, this book is a must-read for you. But Consequences is so much more than a critique or explanation of the current political atmosphere. It covers everything concerning religion, science, philosophy, and history that is relevant to the current state of affairs between Christianity and Islam, and it does it in a style that is easy to read, easy to understand, and makes perfectly good sense. "In a way, Consequences is a condensed history of humankind told through the sometimes polarizing lenses of science, religion, and ideology. Robert and Miriam 5 Fertig take us on a journey through issues and questions that are as old as man himself. With the works of over seventy-five authors as references, it seems as if every great thinker in human history is represented in Consequences, but again I want to stress how easy it is to read and understand. This is extremely important in the modern age and Robert and Miriam got it right. I like this book. I'm very glad that I read it. I am proud to have it in my collection and will suggest it to my friends."
