Alpha and similar courses work well with those already comfortable with talking about matters of faith and philosophy. Recent research however indicates that there are many for whom the questions need to start at a more fundamental level. This book tackles six basic issues: o Who am I? o If there is a God, what does he/she look like? o What happens after I die? o How can I be happy? o Why is there suffering in the world? o What is the spiritual realm? The book will be accompanied by a full course called Puzzling Questions, analogous to Alpha but starting further back. This title stands in the same relation to the PQ course as Questions of Life does to Alpha.
