The Quest for God

By Leong Kwok Thye

From the dawn of civilization, man has been earnestly seeking God; what He is like and how to please Him. The need to know God is often driven by fear of the unknown, in particular of death and how eternity will be spent - in heaven or in hell. Philosophers and religious teachers have offered theories to assuage anxiety and fear.

The aim of this collection of twenty-five poems is encourage the reader to seek God from a Biblical perspective. Knowing God is more than an intellectual exercise. It offers an opportunity for a vibrant relationship with him and more importantly, to enjoy life with him in eternity.

Written in simple and provocative style, the poems make enjoyable and inspirational reading.
