This is a fascinating, readable, and compelling book, especially for those who think our wonder-full universe is one grand accident. It isnt.

ROBERT C. FAY, Emeritus professor of chemistry, Cornell University

In this striking account, the author explains why he gave up his atheism to put his faith in God. With great skill, important concepts in contemporary physics are introduced for the nonspecialist, and the author shows how such ideas played a key role in his gradual journey to faith. Science, he explains, used to be his godbut no longer. Yet the author remains a passionate advocate for science, albeit now appreciated within a much broader worldview. The style is fast-paced, and there are plenty of fascinating facts and anecdotes, some quite personal, to keep the reader fully engaged until the last page.
