From Midwest Book Review Synopsis: Michael Minot felt he was living the American dream. For a number of years he'd been reaping the professional and financial rewards of being a commercial litigation attorney. To him, life was great and getting better all the time. He first gained notoriety around his hometown as a nationally ranked tennis player. But now, years later, he was becoming known for his skills as a lawyer and as the youngest elected official in the area. And then, in his late 20s, Michael unexpectedly discovered something that turned his world and his entire idea of life upside down. In response to a challenge from a friend, Michael agreed to investigate issues relating to science, philosophy, and the Scriptures. Comfortable with his life as an atheist, he began reading with an indifferent attitude. But what started as a casual inquiry soon turned into a time of intense research. What follows is the story of Michael's journey, his thoughts and reactions to the evidence he discovered, and the new life that soon followed. Critique: "The Beckoning: Examining the Truths That Transformed an Atheist Attorney Into a Believer In God" is written with commendable candor and proves to be a thoroughly engaging read from beginning to end. An extraordinary story extraordinarily well presented. This book is very highly recommended reading. "The Beckoning: Examining The Truths That Transformed An Atheist Attorney Into A Believer In God" is available in a paperback edition ($16.99) and a Kindle edition ($7.99). --- Reviewed by Able Greenspan.
