Believing as an intellectual exercise is difficult enough, but our need to believe goes much deeper than that. The Enlightenment changed what it means to believe. To believe can man nothing more than to agree with the data. When Jesus spoke of believing, he meant something very different. To believe is to wrap your soul around something. To believe in God has to do with trusting. What you believe in is what you trust in and, more important, who you trust.

I began looking for truth in an entirely new way. I was no longer looking for the best ideas but the best life. Whatever I would come to believe in, it could not simply change my mind; it had to change my life.
