A Fresh Look At Living Forever by Donald L. Thomas is a book he put together after decades of restless research, first and foremost, to give himself answers to some of the world's most asked and never answered questions.
Thomas was a college student when he was faced with Darwin's theory of evolution; this led him to his decades-long quest to answer the biggest question out there: Are we here by chance or by plan? In other terms, are we here thanks to billions of years of evolution, or were we created by a creator? Thomas mentions that the probability of life existing merely by chance is 1. A planet with water, just the right amount away from the sun, with oxygen, and simple organisms that have evolved into what they are today. How does nature know that we need a nose to breathe or eyes to see? How does nature know that feet are for walking and fins are for swimming? These are just a few of the questions Thomas asks.
A huge focus in this book is indeed God or a Creator, whatever that might be for the reader. Thomas does not hide that he was raised in a religious family, which impacted him and his beliefs. He also mentions that we believe in the existence of God primarily because we believe our existence has a purpose and that he has found that many people will believe in their religion no matter what.
What I really appreciate about this book as a reader is that even though the author clearly has a viewpoint that he firmly believes in, he does not in any way say anything that would dismiss other people's beliefs. Rather it is about if we are here thanks to evolution or a creator. Furthermore, he mentions different religions and historical figures such as Jesus, Moises, and Mohamed, official religious texts, and more to support his theory.
In addition to that, even though the book tackles subjects that are extremely abstract and muddled in day-to-day life, the tone in which it is written is remarkably friendly and luring. As a result, you will find yourself reading and feeling like you are having an intense and meaningful chat with a friend.
The great thing about A Fresh Look At Living Forever is that it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with the author's beliefs. They are presented in a manner that is nonconfrontational and will leave the reader with much to think about. It is really interesting to read about all of these topics and see these questions answered and backed up by science and history. I recommend this book to any curious soul out there who has a few hours to spare for a genuinely good book.

A Fresh Look at Living Forever” by Donald L. Thomas explores fundamental queries that have continually troubled human beings regarding their heritage and existence. Topics such as whether humans came to be by probability or by divine agenda, whether we were created or evolved, whether we have a purpose, and whether we need religion today, among other eyebrow-raising concerns.
The read takes a deep look at some of life’s universal concepts, through which author Thomas hopes a clearer perspective of God’s divine plan will offer solid grounds on which the above-mentioned concerns can be interpreted. These universal notions begin with a display of God, his description, abilities, and attributes, through which a valuable exposition of what makes Him the greatest and mightiest of all powers and spirits is offered. Thomas has also shared thought-provoking particulars regarding the subject of life and death, from which readers are reminded that no one has the right to life, a validation that life can only be a gift from the Creator.
Readers will notice early that the author has over time developed a strong sense of confidence in God as confirmed in his deconstruction of popular religious and mythical ideas. Faith has been highlighted as the secret to pleasing God- religion notwithstanding, and the treatment of fellow humans has been revealed to directly show how one would treat the Creator. These are thought-provoking deductions that are universally accepted, and which are indisputably potent to one’s relationship with God.
As readers will notice, the author’s tone is amazingly relaxed throughout the chapters, and he does not coerce his audience into adopting his sentiments. He has ably mentioned key figures like Jesus and Mohammed to illustrate his points, without degrading any kind of religion or dismissing other beliefs. This makes it a text that both Christians and non-Christians will feel comfortable reading and considering as a solid guide, that brings one to the absolute understanding of God the Creator, in-depth.
“A Fresh Look at Living Forever” by Donald L. Thomas is indubitably a good book that will speak to you and challenge your spirituality. It is a convenient read that will come in handy even for the most devout Christians who may have moments in which they question their faith.

This was a good read but too brainy for me. Lacks heart connection & maybe it’s meant for the intellectuals.
