YAY!!! Can't wait. The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life by Armand M. Nicholi Jr. Throughout the ages, many of the world's greatest thinkers have wrestled with the concept of -- and belief in -- God. It may seem unlikely that any new arguments or insights could be raised, but the twentieth century managed to produce two brilliant men with two diametrically opposed views about the question of God: Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis. They never had an actual meeting, but in The Question of God, their arguments are placed side by side for the very first time.

yesterday was just an ordinary saturday for me. right after i paid for my electricity bill, i headed to my sister's office to have the yearly flu shot. after that, headed to sm for family lunch, and then to ayala center to pay more bills. tired and hungry from getting to one establishment after another, i decided to grab dinner before returning home to mactan. as i was getting down from the escalator, i noticed a few people gathered at the ayala activity center. curious, i took a peek at what's happening and saw the backdrop that says "Broadway Special with Isay Alvarez and Robert Sena." the backdrop also said that the show starts at 6:30 P.M. my phone's clock showed that it was almost 7 PM and no sign yet of the singing couple. on stage, there was a young man with his guitar singing. looking at the seats before the stage, i spied a few empty seats. thus, i hurriedly went down, hungry and all, to the empty front row seats. WOW! AMAZING! I couldn't believ
