Free Press, 2006

An Honest Discussion by a Leading Scientist

+ Interesting synthesis of science and religion
+ Not Convinced Yet

Francis Collins is perhaps the world's leading scientist. His writing defeats the myth that science and religion are not compatible. They actually are similar in methodology and in their concern for truth.

Where God Was Born: A Journey by Land to the Roots of Religion24 reviews
Bruce Feiler

William Morrow, 2005

Very Interesting and Enlightening

+ Where God Was Born
+ Great physical & spiritual walk, but in the end reverts to the secular

Since I have a great interest in Israel, Iran and Iraq at this time, I was very pleased to read a present day personal account of Bruce Feiler's journey to those places. He made me feel as though I was there with him in each instance. I appreciated his spiritual search as well.
