review: Editorial Reviews Review "In this thoughtful memoir, ecologist Jim Hayward traces his personal path of discovery as he came to realize that he was observing scientific truths that conflicted with what he had been taught to believe as a young Seventh-day Adventist. In the end, he emerges both as a credible scientist and a man of faith. This is an important book for readers who have difficulty resolving their own conflicts between science and religion." --Kirk Johnson, Sant Director, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution "Beautifully and empathically written, this memoir by zoologist James L. Hayward tells the story of the author's evolution from young-age creationism to a scientifically informed, spiritually sensitive worldview." --Ronald L. Numbers, Hilldale Professor Emeritus of the History of Science and Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison "How refreshing to find an accomplished biologist who writes with equal authority and passion about nature and spirituality. And that's what Jim Hayward does as he takes us on his fascinating journey from fundamentalist creationism to the wonders of evolution, reminding us along the way that there need be no inherent conflict between science and religion." --Ross Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Port Townsend, Washington "Compellingly and reassuringly explores the crises of faith that await research-trained Christians who choose to pursue scientific questions to their furthermost extent." --Brian Bull, co-author of God, Genesis, & Good News About the Author James L. Hayward is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Andrews University. He is the author of The Creation-Evolution Controversy: An Annotated Bibliography (1998), selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice.
