Summary:
"From the host of The Liturgists Podcast (theliturgists.com/podcast) and Ask
Science
Mike (mikemchargue.com/asksciencemike), a story of having
faith
, losing it, and
finding
it
again
through
science
- revealing
how
the latest in neuroscience, physics, and biology help us understand
God
,
faith
, and ourselves. What do you do when
God
dies? It's a question facing millions today, as
science
reveals a Universe that's self-creating, as American culture departs from Christian social norms, and the idea of
God
begins to seem implausible at best and barbaric at worst. Mike McHargue understands the pain of unraveling belief. He tells
how
his Evangelical
faith
dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his identity, his friendships, and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't theology or scripture that led him back to
God
- it was
science
. Learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray;
how
fundamentalism affects the psyche; and
how
God
is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us. For the faithful and skeptic alike, this is a winsome, lucid, page-turning read about belonging, life's biggest questions, and the hope of knowing
God
in an age of
science
