This is the sort of book I wish I’d read as a teenager: a clear, thoughtful and brightly written take on the relationship between Christianity and science. John and Katy don’t doesn’t duck the tough questions, and they handle them with insight and wit. Bravo.

“Answers difficult questions with facts, faith, and truth!”

This thoughtful and insightful book proves that you don’t have to choose a side- science or religion. The two complement each other! Science AND religion. You can be a scientist and believe in God. This book explains how science works and why science can’t explain everything. Science has its limits! That’s why we need something more.

You’ll think on big questions like: Why is the universe ordered and understandable at all? Does everyone have faith- even atheists?!? How do you test the truth of the Bible? Do miracles and science contradict each other?

In an age where kids can access information from so many sources, this book will help ground them in truth. I love how it gives both sides of common arguments and doesn’t scare away from the hard questions. It will give kids (and adults) the confidence to defend their faith with facts and truth.

This book will benefit new believers, unbelievers, and even those far along in their walk with Christ. This book will challenge you and you’ll probably learn something new. It will encourage you to ask more questions and go seek the truth.

Kids ages 10+, and even adults, will enjoy this short but clear guide to why science and God work together.

*I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

“Highly recommend to read with your children”

This book is very thoughtful provoking especially in asking the question why. John Lennox lays out very clearly that Christianity back up science. He isn't out to shut down the theory of Science but that they go together. He encourages the young person to explore both sides and come to their own conclusion.
Would highly recommend for teenagers at secondary school. For when they begin to explore science, big bang, DNA and faith. I would recommend it as a book that a parent and child go through together and discuss and think about.
At the end of each chapter there is a quick recap of what was talked about in the chapter.
Some of the questions this book answers:
Do God and Science mix?
Can science explain everything?

Quote page 62
"In other words, the Bible definitely doesn't claim to have all the answers to how the world works. Often, it just invites us to sit back and say, "Wow!""

“Excellent Read for Teenagers and Adults Alike”

I’ve read a number of books from John Lennox before, and this coauthored work is a simple but profound explanation of how science and faith in the God of the Bible can not only be compatible but highly likely. The book explores various important topics in an easy to read manner, and though it is written for teenagers, it would be a great book for adults too! The one extra thing I do like is that you can also download a discussion guide from the website to use alongside the book in a youth group or home group, to enable deeper understanding. Definitely one I would recommend!
