In The Jigsaw Puzzle, American writer Joe Wagner has penned a book that just might open the door to a whole new perspective on Life. Subtitled God Has a Sense of Humor, this one-of-a-kind work presents a fresh and entertaining look into the Puzzle of Life. In it the author has thoughtfully and engagingly shown how people's many and varied life experiences are pieces "necessary pieces!" in an infinitely great Jigsaw Puzzle: one that no one can see the entirely of; but which makes up the totality of Truth and of God. All of us view Life from different angles. Among those are Science, Religion, and Philosophy. Although these differ widely from each other and within themselves Wagner writes that they're all fundamentally correct, even when they're contradictory! The ideas and concepts and factual examples in this inspiring, enlightening, and amusing short book will show you a different way of contemplating your own life and its necessary interactions with the lives of others. The Jigsaw Puzzle presents a brand new and at times even startling perspective on what Life really about. Though the author had a long career in Science and Engineering, his many personal experiences with telepathy and other outside-the-Laws-of-Logic occurrences led him to explore their mysteries. That exploration resulted in The Jigsaw Puzzle. More than 30 years of research, investigation, and deep thought are compressed into this book. Brimming with humor, poetic insights, inexplicable adventures, wit, and wisdom: this work gives a mind-expanding look into the Totality of Life and of God.
