I’ve started it on Kindle along with my wife. It has already fostered some interesting discussions, as her mother struggled with depression and had a couple of suicidal episodes, and was in and out of hospitals for that and physical problems during her childhood and teenage years. Guess I should stop there before we get too far along. In any case, a well written book, with good flow and interesting changes.
I thought it did a good job portraying the predicament of someone in the sciences feeling challenges to faith more for personal reasons (involving her family) but then having to weather the provocations of others in the field who dismiss faith out of hand in a kind of materialist chauvinism. Seemingly a pretty painful place to be.
Sorry, it’s coming out next week! We have a break this week without a podcast! So if you’re not finished reading, you’ve still got time!
Phew! I’m only halfway through, but it is very interesting so far.
