The Man Upstairs

THE title of this book is amusing, but it encapsulates something of the utmost seriousness-that the reason many of us know very little about God is not because the evidence is not there but because we really don’t want to know. We’re afraid to ask, because we know that the answer will define how we should live, and we’d rather be free to decide that for ourselves.

Christians call this phenomenon original sin, and it is the source of all the suffering in the world-as Eric Metaxas explains in this conversational but ultimately very serious book. Metaxas, a humorist who has written children’s books as well as scripts for the Veggie Tales video series, notes that the evidence for God’s existence is all around us. He organizes that evidence and presents it in an accessible question-and-answer format.
