Random Library Book

Scientific randomness in the universe goes beyond particles at the molecular level and can extend to everything we encounter in our lives. Random Library Book is a series of my walks down different library aisles and I randomly pick out a book. I bring light to books that might otherwise get lost in the large repetitive physical aisles of a library. 

Religion and Self-Acceptance: A Study of the Relationship Between Belief in God and the Desire to Know
​By John F. Haught

This book was first published in 1976 by New York's Paulist Press. Sitting at 189 pages, the book appeared to have been read three times since its life on that library shelf in the Philosophy section. Flipping through the pages I began thinking about the questions of life that just do not go away. Where do we come from? Does God exist? Why are we here? Why an ultimate fate of having to decide to believe in God or not? Author John F. Haught takes the reader through his questions on religion and why we have such a desire to know. This book would be of interest to those who enjoy deep philosophical views on religion.
