Summary

Do You Need a "Reset" Button for Your Life? In business we have the slogan, "Your system is perfectly designed to produce the results you are getting." This works for our belief "system" too. Men often discover that their belief system is not big enough to satisfy their most basic need for love, respect, acceptance, peace, meaning, joy, security, and significance. Unfortunately, this awareness often comes only after a man has given the best years of his life to a "system" that never had any chance of succeeding. Taking nothing for granted, Patrick Morley shows you how the Christian "system" can satisfy your most basic needs, and that it is not unreasonable to believe that Christianity is true. Have you given the best years of your life to a "system" that is overloaded? If so, this book is a "reset" button to start over.
