In Awesome Wonder

"For through Him God created everything in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen things, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities. God created the whole universe through Him and for Him." Colossians 1:16 The Mighty Hand of God With one divine decision, history began. Existence became measurable. Because God spoke out, out of nothing came light. Out of this light came day. Then, in obedience to His command came the sky and earth. And on this earth we call home, His mighty hand went to work. Canyons were carved deep into the face of the earth, oceans were dug, mountains erupted out of flat land, stars were flung into the heavens, and a new universe sparkled simply because Almighty God spoke and willed it so! All we must do is look at the Grand Canyon's splendor and touch the gentle fragrant petals of a flower and we see His loving delicate work. We but have to listen to thunder and see the storm to stand in awe of His mighty power. As you travel through each day, you will encounter God's creation. As you see the beauty around you, allow each detail to remind you to bow down before Him and lift up your hands in praise. We should daily express our appreciation for God's creations around us. As parents, we must encourage our children to see the beauty of His love. Anonymous

For many Christians there is still a gap between science and their faith. Exploring topics like cosmology, evolution and climate change, In Awesome Wonder shows how science and faith can mutually enrich each other and can be incorporated, confidently and healthily, into an orthodox Christian worldview.

All of life is liturgy. People encounter God as they live, work, and play in human communities and as they work to sustain the health of communities and the ground on which communities are built. Liturgy is distilled from everyday life when we peer through the mist and see the sacramental and spiritual dimensions of daily actions, objects, conversations, and events. In When I in Awesome Wonder, Jill Y. Crainshaw explores this dimension of spirituality and celebrates the ways God's sacramental gifts and presence arise from and return to everyday human experiences.

Awesome Wonders is a 9-week Bible study course with a SCIENCE focus about the awesome World and universe around us that provide evidences for believers of an awesome Creator. ôGod is great! God is good!ö is the theme of this book. Focus is on the credal statement, ôI believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord.ö
