Philosopher Clifford Williams puts forth an argument as to why certain needs, desires
and emotions have a legitimate place in drawing people into faith in God. Addressing
the strongest objections to these types of reasons, he shows how the personal and
experiential aspects of belief play an important part in coming to faith and in remaining
a believing person
