[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't normally read books that are testimonies of how people came to the Christian faith or their personal explanation of why they believe in God. This book became a very fascinating and encouraging read for me. I loved hearing people from a variety of scientific disciplines. While I may have thought there would be some similarity into their testimonies or reasons for their faith, it was really enjoyable to read how unique and different each individual's story was. Some really captivated my interest and encouraged my faith. I wouldn't use this book as an apologetic but it does give some things to consider and would really benefit someone if they are interested in the stories of scientists. The one's I particularly enjoyed were Robert W. Hosken, Irene Brown, Danny R. Faulkner, Jay L. Wile, Joseph Mastropaolo, Werner Gitt, Wayne W. Huang, and Eric Barrett. It was also very effective to split the stories between two sections; Reason and Faith, and Faith and Experience. I would recommend this book.
