There Is a God!

1,001 Heartwarming (and Hilarious) Reasons to Believe




This funny, tender, and inspiring little book offers 1,001 reminders for the faithful—and for doubters, too.
 
“There is a God!” Who hasn’t uttered these words in response to life’s true miracles? A glorious sunset. Watching your toddler take her first wobbly steps. And that supreme blessing: a hospital gown that closes all the way. In this book, New York Times–bestselling author Richard Smith and Maureen McElheron identify 1,001 miracles that prove that there is in fact a God, including:

- Watching your little girl struggle with an ice-cream cone that appears bigger than she is
- Fireflies on a June night
- Knowing that your ability to explain the difference between hollandaise sauce and béchamel impresses the hell out of your date

There Is a God! will remind you of all the many things that make life wonderful.

About the authors

Richard Smith

Richard Smith grew up in regional Queensland where he developed his love of cricket as an enthusiastic but inconsistent opening batter at school. He grew a deep knowledge of the history of the game and its greats by choosing greatest-ever teams with his cricket-mad grandmother. Richard carved out a career in accounting and finance but has remained a cricket tragic and will happily debate the merits of his selections in World XIs with anyone. He lives in Brisbane, is married to Sarah, and they have two daughters; Alexandra and Georgia.

Praise for There Is a God!

"It was hard to resist Richard Smith and Maureen McElheron's book, There Is a God!, particularly because of the subtitle "1,001 Heartwarming (and Hilarious) Reasons to Believe". Actually, some are heartwarming, some funny, and some a little naughty. It's a fun little book, and some of the comments actually do make you think. There is a God! is a charming little book. You can zip through it, or you can pick it up, and think about the little miracles of life. I know the person who will enjoy this, and I'll be giving my copy as a gift. I think you'll want to read it first, though, to identify some of the little things in life that you never thought of as miracles." --Lesa's Book Critiques
