Christopher Teeter said: " I read, listened and read/listened to this book. The Audible version is read by the author himself which adds to the enthusiasm he shows for the million little miracles all around us. Ha! ... so exhaustive are the fantastic examples across many disci I read, listened and read/listened to this book. The Audible version is read by the author himself which adds to the enthusiasm he shows for the million little miracles all around us. Ha! ... so exhaustive are the fantastic examples across many disciplines that I thought he just might reach a million in this volume.

Though I've read 10's and 10's (if not 100's) of faith based books, I was really unfamiliar with the term, "tov". It's a Hebrew word. Tov means "good". It can also mean beautiful, life-giving, and morally good. In the Bible, tov is used to describe God's creation and the harmony between life, animals, and plants. Tov is used to describe something that fulfills its purpose and is created exactly as it should be.

Batterson keeps coming back to it with things found in nature (e.g. seeds), scientific findings (e.g. molecular structures, quantum findings) and seemingly man made (e.g. music) miracles.

Quote collection (from dozens of takeaways):

Thoreau: Methinks that the moment my legs move, my thoughts begin to flow. (CCT interpreatation: Get out and discover the world!)

Batterson: "There's something about nature that acts as an antidote to narcissism."

Batterson: "Nothing is as simple as it seems. Everything is more miraculous than we can imagine."

C.S. Lewis in Prince Caspian - a conversation between Lucy and Aslan (Christ) - She sees him as bigger. But, not because he has grown, it turns out, but because she has ... she has gained wisdom! ... including in the way she sees him.

Batterson: "Don't let anyone label you who didn't make you. If you do, those false labels turn into false narratives, false identities, and false idols."

Jung: "the world will ask you who you are. And, if you don't know, the world will tell you. Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

C.S. Lewis: "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning."

Einstein: "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." ...more "
