Living in the postmodern world as we do you might think that such a title for a book as Randy Pope has written might seem daring and bold. It is quite obvious as Randy writes that he is very much in touch with postmodern people and they all are looking for the missing piece of the puzzle that gives meaning to life and offers hope in the place of despair. Not only is this true for the irreligious, but also for many Christians. So Randy poses the critical question “What is this piece and where is it found?”

He gives the answer in the first section of the book, and how to find it in the next two sections. It comes down to three words, “glory,” “grace,” and “truth.” In his explanation of each of these words he writes with such clarity and balance in presenting the essence of the gospel the reader gets caught up in the wonder of it all. He calls the three main sections, “The Story of Glory,” “The Story of Grace,” and “The Story of Truth.”

Randy’s has a gift for diagramming so a person can visualize the concepts, and also to engage a person’s thinking by way of the illustrations he uses to lead a person toward a response to the message he is presenting. He also has the gift of communicating truth in such a succinct and clear way that one cannot miss the core answer to life and satisfaction as found in the gospel and God’s Word.

The reader will be excited to know that you can find “the Answer” in such a short read of 87 pages! What a wonderful tool The Answer can be by giving it to people who are searching for meaning, for truth, and for satisfaction in this world of chaos, hopelessness, and despair.
