Publisher's Synopsis
In different chapters, the author takes the reader by the hand and grants him a look over his shoulder. Whether it is about tinkering with the old Harley Davidson, the strange hermit in the street or his quest right through the Bible. It is an exploration of a man searching for an answer to the most important question of life: why am I here on earth? From an unbelieving family looking for the existence of any God, a humorous, sometimes touching story about repentance, worship, love, illness and struggles in the life of a human being. A heart-warming, but sometimes astonishing autobiography. Peter de Mooij grew up in the heart of Gouda. The family consisted of four children of which he was the only boy. Partly because his cousin had a big gym in Gouda, he came as a young man in the body building world and started using stimulants. Through it all, he asked himself what the purpose of life is and whether there is a God. He is going to write about his twenty-sixth and writes columns for the local radio. He is still into fitness and has a fondness for breeding canaries.
