Daniel McCoy | BioDaniel McCoy
Daniel is happily married to Susanna, and they have 3 daughters and 2 sons. He is the editorial director for Renew.org as well as a part-time professor of philosophy for Ozark Christian College. He has a bachelor’s in theology (Ozark Christian College), master of arts in apologetics (Veritas International University), and PhD in theology (North-West University, South Africa). Among his books are the Popular Handbook of World Religions (general editor), Real Life Theology Handbook (with Andrew Jit), Mirage: 5 Things People Want From God That Don't Exist, and The Atheist's Fatal Flaw (co-authored with Norman Geisler).These days, reasons for irritability pop up as regularly as Facebook advertisements. Of all the reasons to be irritable, this one has to be the worst: We often want things that turn out not to exist.
People can spend their lives wholeheartedly pursuing things that are unreal. These mirages burst like soap bubbles, and we are left disappointed and frustrated.
The purpose of this book is to expose 5 things people want from God that don’t exist—so that we can retrain our desires to focus on what does exist. When we pursue what does exist, we will find our souls satisfied.
“My friend Daniel McCoy has faithfully and winsomely addressed the struggle between desire’s myth and fact’s truth in this book.”
—Dr. David Young, author of A Grand Illusion: How Progressive Christianity Undermines Biblical Faith
