Sam didn't think much of religion. What with science being able to explain almost everything about us and about the world we live in, there didn't seem much point to believing in God any more. But then came the day Sam was exploring the Internet, and stumbled across God's website! At least, that was what it claimed to be.Sam decides to investigate, and becomes engrossed in conversations with the mysterious person on the other end. Together they explore the great questions arising out of evolution, astronomy, cosmology, the laws of nature, and the possibility of miracles. Not that Sam knew much science. Fortunately the stranger was able to explain the science from scratch in a way that Sam could understand. They also tackled the problems of evil, suffering, and death; that really set Sam thinking.Readers will be challenged to form their own personal responses to the issues raised based on a listing of forty questions at the back of the book. Sample questions include: What do you hope to achieve in your lifetime? Does belief in God play a part in that? Do you believe in evolution—that you came from animals? Do you think there is life on other planets? If so, does that make human beings less important? Do the world religions contradict each other, or are they simply talking about the same God in somewhat different ways? How should belief in an afterlife affect the way you live this life?

“In this simply delightful tale, Alice Anne Findlay has woven together a story reminiscent of Beatrix Potter, Gulliver’s Travels, and even Animal Farm. The characters are well-dressed (and even better fed!) and so distinctly well-written that one feels one has known them a long time. The community that Findlay has deftly constructed is filled with sweetness and gentle humor. Our young cat protagonist, Shiloh, finds himself in great company as he attends his first summer camp. For dogs. Run by cats. As if that weren’t enough excitement, unexpected Mermare magic takes him farther than he would ever have dreamed possible. Shiloh’s journey allows the reader to explore the tender nuances of blended families, social contracts, and ecology. Alice Anne Findlay’s debut novel reminds us that, though no one is perfect, we can all get along. Especially if there are snacks involved.” – Christina Thrasher, Librarian.
