He affirms that there is a time for questions, and that following those questions can indeed lead us to answers, evidence, and commitment.When life becomes aquestion, the search is on for an answer. Come find yourself on a sure path to meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOs Guinness (DPhil, Oxford) is the author or editor of more than thirty-five books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Dust of Death\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Call\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFool's Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCarpe Diem Redeemed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Magna Carta of Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLast Call for Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eImpossible People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnspeakable\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTime for Truth\u003c\/i\u003e.
