A Conversation with an Arachnid

What happens when a science-minded professor meets a talking spider with a moral compass and a web full of questions?

In this fictional conversation about God, creation, and belief, a retired academic — rooted in reason and the scientific method — is about to engage in the most unusual dialogue of his life. His unlikely conversation partner? An orb-weaving arachnid who speaks in analogies, argues with logic, and nudges him toward truths too vast for a microscope.

This isn’t your average spiritual book. It’s a lighthearted faith and logic debate, written for those who distrust organized religion, but remain curious about questions of meaning, morality, and the origins of life.

Set entirely on a park's walking trail, A Conversation with an Arachnid unfolds as a quirky, philosophical back-and-forth between two perspectives—one grounded in empirical inquiry, the other spun from timeless moral insight. Together, they explore creation, free will, consciousness, and what it means to be human.

Perfect for fans of The Screwtape Letters and The Little Prince, this Christian allegory about creation speaks to both skeptics and seekers, scientists and storytellers.

Whether you're wrestling with belief or simply love a spiritual dialogue framed by reason, this book offers insight, humor, and just enough web to get caught in.

Themes Explored:
— Creation and morality exploration
— Philosophical discussion about belief

Curious? You should be.
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and prepare to think differently.
