This book was not what I expected and turned much of what I thought I knew upside down and sideways. Frankly, I am not sure what I was expecting when I started reading A. Vaz's book, The Everything Bible: Revealing Origin and End of Nothing, but whatever I was expecting was blown away. I have to say this was one of the more complex and thought provoking books I have read.I consider myself a spiritual person although I don't identify with any particular church or philosophical system. Over the years I'd found truth in the words of Buddah, Christ, other spiritual writers, to include Khalil Gibran. However, none of what I read had the ring of complete truth for me. I suppose I had come to peace with the understanding that there were certain things I as a fallible human-being just would never know for certain.  Thus, I thought this would be an interesting read but didn't hold out any particular hope it would actually deliver truth in any form. Yet, what I found in this book were thought provoking ideas and concepts about religion, science, and human nature I did not expect. Is this book the complete answer? Can I now say I know what the answer to all my questions are? No, but I can say that I feel like my questions may have answers when before I had given up hope of any answers.The author, A. Vaz, has made it his life's mission to seek answers to questions we all have and now has started to write down and explain what he found and what he believes his search has taught him. In retrospect, I am still not sure what I think about all I read in this volume. It is, after all, a lot to take in and people have struggled with some of these epic issues since recorded history began. Yet the explanations and the ideas that are discussed and explained in this book have brought me closer to clarity. That alone made the book worth reading. I certainly will continue reading A. Vaz's work as it is published to see where his thoughts and ideas are going.In the end I have to say I recommend this book to anyone who wants to think about the larger issues of life and existence.
