The course of my life as well as my work in ministry has been largely taken up with helping others with the practical problems of their life, while grappling with the practical problems of my own life. Simply put: real world problems are always present. The fears and worries, now often called anxieties, of our lives never seem to go away. Most people come to religion or faith not to gain better logic or more effective ammunition for debate. Everyday people are looking for useful solutions to their own practical problems.
