How do you make sense of life? Who are humans—in our deepest, innermost core? Where did we come from? Where are we going? Why?

People pretty much everywhere, for all of time, grapple with these age-old questions. Is it important to come to grips with the answers—or are there answers? Many of us quit asking the big questions. We give up on finding answers. We go through life hoping for the best, and then it’s over.

For over 75 years, Jerry Moldenhauer has pondered the big questions. He’s just a common man with a generally normal American upbringing, but he’s found reasonable answers. For him, it finally makes sense.

Jerry first wrote a document to organize his thoughts about his own journey to connect the dots between life, love, and God. He shared it with a few friends, who felt others could benefit from Jerry’s journey. And so this small book was born.

If you’d like to come along and think with Jerry through his process of living a life with connected dots, Jerry welcomes you aboard. He hopes this concise tome springboards you to clarify your own understanding of why you exist, why you are valuable, and why you can live with optimism.

Connecting the dots in life, love, and God is a journey for all of us. For better or worse, we are truly in it together.
