About this product
Product Information
Meeting contemporary, culturally literate readers right where they are, this compelling book demonstrates that Christianity has real answers to the seemingly meaningless nature of today's world. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , a best-selling novel by Douglas Adams, says that life is a cruel joke perpetrated by an incompetent God (if He exists) or blind chance. Adams's characters go on a journey through the galaxy in search of the meaning of life, and although they never end up finding anything, at least they have a little fun along the way. In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Meaning of Everything William Badke chronicles a similar search for meaning, only this journey is through the Bible and the characters actually discover what they were looking for. With a heart intent on reaching postmodern seekers, Badke extends to them a non-threatening invitation to hop in and take a ride with him through the story of God. Steering clear of arguments or evidences, he lets the Bible speak for itself and leaves the reader free to decide what they think. C.H. Spurgeon once said, "The Bible is like a lion, you don't have to defend it, just turn it loose." This book approaches the Biblical narrative in a fresh way, setting it loose into the lives of the lost and seeking postmodern reader. Badke uses postmodern concepts and issues to help the reader arrive at biblically-based answers to the big questions in life that are more satisfying than anything Douglas Adams could ever devise.

Reviews
The answer is not 42. (Those who've read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Four Parts would understand the reference.) Piggy-backing on these popular books that take a humorous, sci-fi look at the meaning of life, the author starts at ground zero. He starts with the assumption the reader knows little about the Bible's teachings and what has been heard is probably incorrect. From there the author builds the case, without judgments or forcing premature conclusions, for the need of a Savior and why that Savior is Jesus. The book is well-thought out without getting too introspective, encouraging the reader with short chapters, insightful questions, information and truth. This would make a good gift for someone who does not come from a Christian background or for use in a discussion group to open the doors of communication.
