Before there is ever an assumption about anything or anyone, perhaps we could ask the question, why did God create diversity? Here in simple language the author presents a collection of questions that may provide an opportunity for meditation, a sharing of sincere thoughts and a willingness to set aside the practices of prejudice, condemnation and fear. The author presents no answers, but he reveals the accumulation of many questions about the beliefs of God, the importance of having love for all mankind, the uniqueness of our individuality, and the bond that is shared with creation throughout the spiritual journey.

The author feels that "answers to all our questions will come from the God one loves if only one is willing to listen deeply to the creation known as you. When it is said that heaven is within you, perhaps the word truth could replace the word heaven. The truth is within you. God has created who you truly are, " he says, "and you will find the answers."
