Chapter 3     Will It Change Anything?
Introduction
Establishing the case for which you can build your hope and confidence, this is a series of books that searches the origin and purpose of life.
The first What If? Book is titled What If God Really L ives?
This collection of books will allow you to memorize relatable Bible verses and participate by filling in some of the blanks with scriptures from the New International Version (NIV) or King James Version (KJV).
This should answer questions for all people—ethnic groups, nationalities, males and females, young and old, rich and poor, business professionals, blue-collar workers, stay-at-home parents, and more. It doesn’t matter whether you are a doctor, lawyer, teacher, housewife, cook, sales clerk, bank teller, sanitary worker, minister, unemployed person, college student, school dropout, athlete, or fan. All of us, every people and nation, has or will eventually ask at least one of the following questions. I know I certainly did. I asked myself most of the questions. Let’s see about you.
QUESTIONING SELF-EXISTENCE
~ Why am I here?
~ Does anybody really care if I live or die?
~ Why should I want to go on living anyway?
~ What makes life worth living?
~ Is there a real purpose to it all?
~ Is there a logical reason to continue to live in spite of …?
1. I’ve endured the pain of rejection, as well as physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. I have suffered by the hands of people who were supposed to love, protect, and care for me.
2. People deal with negative situations and circumstances, disappointments, personal failures, addictions, financial bankruptcy, poverty, low self-worth, pity, depression, unattractiveness, homelessness, imprisonment, fear, divorce, abandonment, death of a loved one, loneliness, physical illness, mental illness, put-downs—the list goes on. What’s the point? When is enough, en ough?
My prayer and hope is that after reading all the books in this series, you will find help and confidence in facing your tomorrow with great expectations. As you view life through another pair of lenses, you can embark upon a reason to live life to its fullest. Receiving renewed hope and discovering meaning and purpose for your existence could be worth your journeying and sticking with the books.
Let’s indulge in this book and stick with the entire series to discover what I believe to be fresh hope for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
 
Book One, Series One
What If God Really L ives?
If everything involving hope for now and in the future is dependent upon or predicated upon the question “What if God really lives?” then three issues must be dealt with and resolved.
Chapter 1
1. Number one, it must be clear:
2. How does anything come about? “Who did it?”
Chapter 2
2. Number two, “Should I care?”
Chapter 3
3. Number three, “Will it change anything?”
