Rachel G. Jordan
“When I went about my work as usual and expected to experience nothing else, my day was filled with the mundane... But when I entered the water determined to keep my eyes peeled, to see the underwater world for all its God-created splendor, then my day was filled with beauty.”
Rachel G. Jordan, If the Ocean Has a Soul: A Marine Biologist's Pursuit of Truth through Deep Waters of Faith and Science

Rachel G. Jordan
“A cold, vast universe feels foreboding until informed by the reality of God's loving character. The dark, bizarre ecology of the deep sea seems terrifying until we recognize who created it. What initially filled one with fear now results in open-mouthed wonder.”
Rachel G. Jordan, If the Ocean Has a Soul: A Marine Biologist's Pursuit of Truth through Deep Waters of Faith and Science
