Book Cover & Preview Text
The first question that must be asked, discussed, and answered is this. Why do we even think there is a God? The answer is because of the God box within you! I know you’re thinking that you don’t have one. Think about it. Let’s list the things you were born with that you had absolutely no choice in deciding if you wanted or not. Consider your head. Did you want a round one or a round one or a square one? You had no choice in the shape of your head. Did you specify the color or thickness of hair you wanted or that you wanted straight or naturally curly hair? Mostly for men it is this thing called baldness. Were we given the choice of wanting to save money when we get older by not needing to go to the barbershop for a full haircut or just a trim, or did we want to have a full head of hair our entire life? Let’s look at our eyes. Did you have a choice in the color or the spacing of the eyes, the eyelashes, and eyebrows? Did you choose to be nearsighted, farsighted, or have perfect vision?

About the Book
It is time to evaluate your current value system. How do you make decisions? Do you base them on cultural references you find on TV or in movies? Do you ask your friends—and even strangers—what they recommend? Do some wrong ideas become so implanted in your mind that you need a bulldozer to clear them out? Can the relationship between a pet dog and its owner tell us anything about our relationship to God?
Author Criss Cross’ The God Exchange uses everyday examples to look at how God created human beings and how it impacts our decisions. We make decisions every day. Some are big, like buying a car or major appliance, changing jobs, or getting married. Others are smaller, such as those involving what we’re going to wear and eat. Every decision is made based on what we like and what we perceive as having good value. Cross shows how the things we value—and the people whose opinions we value—influence our decisions, and not always in good ways. Many of us leave God completely out of the decision-making process. When that happens, there are eternal consequences.
As you’ll read in The God Exchange, some wrong decisions can be really funny and amusing; others are not. They are all part of life and how God designed us as humans. Once you’re aware of what influences your decisions, you can be on your way to making better ones.
