“Starting college, I knew two things: I loved God, and I really liked science. But I had no idea how these two fit together. Was I supposed to give up science to serve God? Or stay silent about my faith in a secular field? I wish I had this book back then—it would’ve helped me approach my studies with hope and excitement instead of fear and trepidation. Justin is the best ‘sciency Jesus-lover’ I know, and I’m elated his wisdom is available in this book for everyone who loves God and enjoys science as much as we do.”

“College students in the sciences often struggle with how their faith intersects with their professional pursuits. Finally, I have a book to give such students! With intellectual rigor and profound insight, Barrett demonstrates how Christian faith can not only coexist with scientific research but actively inspire and enhance the scientific process across research methods, subject selection, data interpretation, and collegial interactions. This guide offers scientifically-minded students a framework for integrating their Christian faith with scholarly pursuits, ultimately presenting faith as a powerful catalyst for more holistic, ethical, and meaningful scientific exploration.”
