Lent Is Not Rocket Science An Exploration of God Creation and the Cosmos edition by W Nicholas Knisely Religion Spirituality eBooks
This text, read on my iPad via the Kindle app, each night before I went to sleep, was something I took into the next day with me. I kept wanting to hear more, but the text each day pointed back to "me" as a spiritual person on a journey and asked "me" to respond to what I was learning. It was good science, solidly spiritual and deeply moving for me as a creative, spiritual and profoundly human being. This offered connection to creation, to the cosmos, to inner-most being and to scripture. I am a true fan of Matthew Fox, the ex-Roman priest (a Dominican, if I recall correctly), and I believe that even he would be floored by what this small volume offers. Read it if you wonder about the way spirit and science and truly connect. Read it if it is not Lent. Read it to go deeper into your core, into the core of the universe God created, into the smallest unit known to scientists. Read it if you are an inquirer about ways to reconcile the progress of science with faith. Just read it. This is a gem. It is way more valuable than the small cost to own it, and if you can't get it in print, it's worth the trouble of downloading a Kindle app for your computer, smart phone or tablet and viewing it digitally.Product details

Lent Is Not Rocket Science An Exploration of God Creation and the Cosmos edition by W Nicholas Knisely Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
The Journey of the Universe and our Journey of Faith as the Body in one heartfelt devotional for Lent. If you want to know about humanity through the lens of faith, we must begin by acknowledging our creature lines and origins and interdependence within the larger whole. This book of daily reflections lovingly nudges us admirably into that wide angle seeing and deeper being in the world.
If one wants a different kind of slant on Lenten devotions, this is the one. Daily readings which mix science and spirituality
and very thoughtful questions at the end of each reading have enriched my Lenten readings very much.
I really, really like this book and when I finish it, I could easily begin at the beginning and read it through day by day again.
Our Sunday School class did this devotional series for lent. The engineer in our class led the study, and he loved it (we say he's a "geektastic" guy). I am an artsy/advertising guy, and I enjoyed it equally well. The concepts Knisley presents are pretty deep in terms of physics and astronomy; but, he keeps it simple enough that I understood it as well, and found it fascinating. He does a wonderful job of tying each day's devotion into Scripture, and a specific message to help us grow our faith in Christianity -- all in about 2 pages, or 5 minutes.
This book is self-described as a conversation between faith and science, and it is a friendly conversation. Some of the readings find faith in science, and some of them explore parallel or complimentary concepts. The author takes the study from the universe level gradually down to the quantum level, exploring phenomena such as Olber's paradox, sailing upwind, and the uncertainty principle. The author asks us to accept mystery a little more often that I had hoped for, but I suppose that's because "now we see through a glass, darkly" (I Cor 1312).
The author is a scientist and a man of religion. It is always refreshing to read something that does not pit one against the other, but this lovely book of daily readings actually blends the two in a way that gives glory to God through the art of science. I highly recommend this as a Lenten devotional. I am enjoying each day's readings and find it uplifting. Beautifully and intelligently written.
Bishop Knisely presents these daily Lenten meditations in a simple, straight-forward, yet fascinating manner. He uses explanations and metaphors from astronomy and physics to engage the reader in a new way with his or her Christian faith and the season of Lent. It also helped me explain to my 14 year old son a question he had just asked me about the shape of the sun, helping Mom look way smarter than she is.
Highly recommended.
For more than 40 years I have read Oswald Chambers "My Utmost for His Highest" every morning-now I read it on my . This year, I was fortunate to have "Lent is Not Rocket Science" by Nick Knisely to read also. This book was well thought out. Nick did an excellent job of blending the spiritual and scientific into meaningful daily readings for Lent. I learned many things connecting my faith with science data. Nick is the only person I know who can blend these two areas so effectively. When Easter came and Nick's Lent book came to an end, I found myself missing it very much. The only question I have about the book concerns the title. Nick used a common reference to compare Lent to Rocket Science implying difficulty. Rocket Science is not that complicated. You stuff a container with an explosive and light the fuze. I would say "Lent is not Universe Navigation" or some similar scientific process.
