Mike Veraldi graduated from Ohio State University, where he was a Reserve Officer Training Corps member. He flew F-14 Tomcats in the Navy, later becoming a pilot for United Airlines. An avid student of history, he truly came to his faith after reading the Bible cover to cover, then voraciously studying apologetics and the history of the Bible. Passionate about sharing what he learned with those questioning their faith or the existence of God, Mike wanted to help people come to their “adult” version of faith—faith grounded in fact and knowledge. He wanted everyone to make up their own minds after thorough consideration and study. With his nephew, Chase, Mike wrote the last chapter of this book from his hospital bed the week before he valiantly succumbed to his battle with rare bladder cancer. His last wish was for people to read this book and have one last conversation with him.
