A Message from the Author 

An introduction to If God Made the Universe, Then Who Made God?

As a teacher of kids in Christian schools I have been asked a lot of questions about God. In the book, If God Made the Universe Then Who Made God? I have used God's Word (the Bible) to help answer four of the most commonly asked questions. I figure that if the kids I teach ask them, then a lot of other kids probably do as well. It is my prayer that God will help all those who read this book to learn something new about him.

Reviews in New Life 

Australia's Weekly Christian Newspaper

"Just a delightful little volume ... grappling with some of Christianity's basic problems. Well illustrated with semi humorous illustrations and simply written. Get a copy ... Recommended!"

"If God Made the Universe, Then Who Made God? was previously reviewed in New Life four years ago. Since then it has been revamped with splashes of colour and deserves an even higher recommendation than I then gave it."

A Fantastic Resource for Christian Education Teachers 

Christian Education Teacher's quote from Helpful Hints article in New Horizons in our Schools: Newsletter for the Council for Christian Education in Schools

"The Graduation Present: For the past three years, I have used a book called If God Made the Universe, Then Who Made God? It is full of answers to all the REALLY curly questions. I write each kid a small note inside the front cover to personalise it."

Olivia Alexandra Tait 

The amazing girl who inspired the third printing dedication

Olivia was in my class for what was to be her last Term at school. One morning, while I was sharing a devotion with the students, I noticed that Olivia was looking at me with an incredible intensity. As I spoke, she acknowledged through her expressions and gestures that she understood, she knew, she agreed, she believed. It was as if her eyes were filled with faith.

This moment became a memory that will remain with me as an inspiration to to continue speaking and writing the truth to children about the One through whom all things were made and the giver of life eternal - Jesus. Olivia has now entered paradise with Him and I would like to dedicate this poem to her.

Your time on earth was short
Your days here only few
But the memory of your faith-filled eyes
Inspires me to write what's true

So kids can know the message
That in your heart you held so dear
And one day see your faith-filled eyes
From which God has wiped every tear


This poem also appears on the dedication page of the third printing of, If God Made the Universe, Then Who Made God?

    God?
    We created in our "Fentasy" and put a name "God"
    All only in your mind...
    what you think (belive) is the life

    Basically,
    nothing is created...
    nothing is distroyed...
    nothing can be created...
    nothing can be distroyed...
    there is some changes happening
    and the changes are going on...
    there is no begin..
    there is no end..
    if you can feel it
    then you can understand "the truth"
    Truth is universe..
    Universe is truth..
    truth can not be explained..
    explantions for only the changes...
    and the explantions are not for the truth..
