CBS Grads Living and Leading in God's Word: "Dear George"

Why are we here? What is our purpose?

These are the questions that continue to baffle humans, in spite of scientific discoveries and inventions which enable us to disprove myths and understand the realities that make up the world. Are we just here to be born, to go to school, to work, to have family, and then later to die?

Richard Irwin found himself confronted by these issues as he went alone for work to Russia. When loneliness set in, he took his laptop and started to write a letter he addressed to his guardian angel--whom he called George--fussing over his predicament and a past mishap. George answered. And so began a worthwhile correspondence over a long period of time that dealt with varied subjects that touch the heart and clarify the interplay of God, the evil one, and humans.

Rich graduated in the Catholic Biblical School in 2010, where he regularly peppered his teachers with intriguing questions like the ones he addresses in his book.
