In the realm of physics, the ultimate gateway to knowledge may be opened by a Unified Field Theory that Albert Einstein sought for the last quarter century of his life. The purpose of such a theory would be to bridge the gap between relativity and quantum theory, the very large and the very small, the laws of gravitation and of electromagnetism. In this spirit, Reason for Life presents a ratiocination of life’s order and design, universal connectedness and unification of all things, the fundamental basis for belief in human purpose and meaning. Reason for Life serves as a written and visual expression of one man’s life experience. A work of both prose and poetry, it reflects a broad scop...

As children, many of us have special, invisible playmates. We run and play with them; we turn to them when we are lonely. They stand by our side when times are difficult. For some, those playmates are extra special, because they are sent from the heavenly Father. In Playmates from Heaven, author Gilda Jean Rose tells the story of her invisible childhood playmates, sent to her from the heavenly Father. Like “ordinary” invisible friends—at least invisible to others—she ran with them beside her, flying free, and played with them. But they were more. The heavenly Father sent them to stand by her and protect her. And while many childhood playmates leave us as we mature, the ones sent to Rose by God have stayed with her throughout her life. Rose’s personal stories in Playmates from Heaven reflect the courage and comfort that come from trusting in God, whose love is extended to all who believe in Him and entrust themselves to the care of His ministering angels. They are playmates and protectors for life.
