Publisher's Description
Growing up in a world shaped by science and technology, young people may easily lose sight of God. Or, as this book shows, their "eyes of the heart" can become opened like never before. With wit and insight, Russell Haitch offers a model for unifying faith and science that does not compromise either good science or Christian convictions. In Eyes of the Heart: Seeing God in an Age of Science, Haitch puts this model to the acid test by showing how it resolves long-standing (and still heated) issues of creation and evolution. Compelling stories and clear explanations make this book appealing to a wide audience, including parents, youth workers, and young people themselves. The ideas are deep--Haitch covers a lot of ground, from Einstein and Hawking to Augustine and Hildegard of Bingen. But the book's arguments are easy to follow, and its bite-size chapters are enjoyable to read.

“Eyes of the Heart is one of the most discussable books I've read in ages. This book is intended for parents, pastors, and anyone who cares about young faith--but trust me, it is a book that all of us in the church should sink our teeth into.”
“Haitch, with beautiful writing and deep thought, shows himself to be an able and wise guide. This is a book you need. It's splendid.”
“Eyes of the Heart does something few other discussions of the 'faith vs. science' debate do: honor both the spiritual wisdom of a biblically rooted view of the cosmos and the intellectual rigor of the scientific method.”
“Eyes of the Heart is a book that every youth minister and every youth pastor should have in their library.”
“This brilliantly accessible book gives the church a terrific tool for forming a faith that is expanded and deepened rather than undermined by scientific pursuits.”
