God: Fact or Fiction?: Exploring the Relationship Between Science Religion and the Origin of Life
Page 33
I also look forward to being invited to give public presentations on the subjects contained in this book, whether it is for a prayer group, or for an international conference. For the latter I will create a Power Point presentation to help the audience take in the wonderful facts of science, religion and the origin of life covered. I can also speak on such subjects as The Crusades, Theology of the Body, Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, theological subjects, or share my personal testimony.
I’m very excited about my upcoming book, “Crusades Rediscovered: In the Light of Human Sexuality and Our Creator” which people are very intrigued with how I link such fascinating subjects. This is due to be completed end of 2009 or early 2010. Please contact me to keep updated or to give feedback:
