    About this ebook

    A terminal cancer diagnosis sends a college professor on an urgent journey to find meaning in his life. His response is to try to capture his lifetime’s worth of learning and knowledge in a book he titles Everything I Know. However, while striving to compile this life’s work, he is confronted by the most essential questions ultimately faced by every person: Has my life had any real meaning? What will happen to me when I die? Does God exist? Are heaven and hell real places?

    Whether performed on stage or read like a novel, Everything I Know is a moving and inspiring story full of timeless truth that is sure to inspire thought and conversation about the answers to these eternal issues.
