Why I Wrote Science Religions: A New Look

 The first thing to tell you is why I wrote this book

You see, I’ve been unsatisfied with what I’ve found in “science and religion” books. They strike me as incomplete because they are essentially “monotheism and science” or “Christianity and science.” At some level, this is understandable and perhaps pardonable, given that the science commonly practiced derives from the European Scientific R

“CS Lewis may make difficult questions accessible. I don't think he makes answers 'easy. – Debra Winger”
Greg Cootsona

“It's also good enough for the best-selling novelist Anne Lamott, who continually combines humor, humanity, and profound spiritual insight in her work. She says, "Every time you say Yes, when you mean No, you abandon yourself a little; and eventually too much sand is going to leak out of your burlap sacks, and you're going to be operating out of a place of emptiness and deprivation and resentment. Whereas, when you say No, when you mean No, you create a little glade around you in which you can get the nourishment you need.”
Greg Cootsona, Say Yes To No: Using The Power Of No To Create The Best In Life, Work, and Love

“As his former student Alastair Fowler once remarked, "Lewis seemed always on the verge of hilarity -- between a chuckle and a roar.”
