Description

What do you believe—and why?

Belief in God is often dismissed as outdated, irrational or intellectually dishonest, not because people reject meaning or truth, but because they have never been given thoughtful answers to their honest questions.

Why Not God? addresses the most common challenges raised against belief in God—questions about suffering, science, hypocrisy and the nature of faith itself. Drawing from philosophy, everyday reasoning, and real-world experience, Charles Mastroni examines these objections directly and responds with clarity and straightforward analysis.

This is not a book of sermons or slogans. It is a conversation grounded in reason and intellectual integrity.

Written for skeptics, seekers and believers alike, Why Not God? offers readers space to think without pressure, explore without fear, and reconsider faith without abandoning their intellect. It is an invitation to slow down, ask better questions, and decide for yourself whether belief in God still deserves a place in a thoughtful modern life.

Awards & Endorsements

Rev. Paul McPheeters review

If, in this mixed up and conflicted world in which we live, you are trying to work out what it is that you believe and why you believe it, then Why Not God? is the book for you! With clarity and insight, and a good deal of common sense, Charles Mastroni will help you examine your beliefs, clarify what is true and not so true, and shape a healthy worldview with God at the center.

—Rev. Paul McPheeters, New England Regional Pastor for the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference

Rev. Richard H. Woodward review

The world is fast-paced, complex and confusing. Just to make it through the day with its obligations and many distractions keeps us from focusing on ultimate questions, such as, “Why not God?” This book provides an opportunity to think about beliefs and where they come from. The busyness of life often leads us to adopt beliefs and worldviews that are absorbed but not carefully examined. In Why Not God?, Charles Mastroni explains how he has come to believe and hold a Reformed Christian worldview, while challenging the reader to examine their own beliefs with the same honesty. Anyone on a quest for truth will be helped by this fine book.

—Rev. Richard H. Woodward, retired Congregational church pastor

Rev. Jim Beddows review

Why Not God? is a compelling read. For as long as I have known Charles Mastroni he has been burdened to have others enjoy the blessing of knowing the only true God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Read carefully (with pen in hand), learn deeply, and your mind and heart will be challenged.

—Rev. Jim Beddows, retired pastor
