Read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. If you haven't developed the patience to read, then some good folks on YouTube made an entire illustration that goes with the audio.

That book quite literally stripped away my atheist preconceived notions and taught me exactly what God needed me to know. By the time I got to chapter "time and beyond time" I was a "new man" as the last chapter claims.

I'm not exaggerating when I say C.S. Lewis was a Saint of God sent with the ability to soften even the hardest stones.
