Description: Is a career as a scientist a possibility for you? Do you wonder if being a scientist might conflict with your Christian convictions? Would you like an insider's perspective on how a scientific career could be a response to God's call on your life? Then this book is for you. In it you'll find helpful insights into what the working life of a Christian in the natural sciences is really like--both the opportunities and the challenges. Walter Hearn surveys the field, looking at everything, from what scientists actually do, to the hard questions Christians face about divided loyalties, personal conflicts and possible loneliness. Here is sound, practical wisdom from a respected scientist and Christian who has worked both inside and outside the laboratory.
