Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It

Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science

A story about having faith, losing it, and finding it again through scienceâ€”revealing how the latest in neuroscience, physics, and biology help us understand God, faith, and ourselves.
Â
Mike McHargue, host of The LiturgistsÂ and Ask Science Mike podcasts, understands the pain of unraveling belief. In Finding God in the Waves, Mike tells the story of how his Evangelical faith dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his identity, his friendships, and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't theology or scripture that led him back to Godâ€”it was science.Â
Â
Full of insights about the universe, as well as deeply personal reflections on our desire for certainty and meaning, Finding God in the Waves is a vital exploration of the possibility for knowing God in an age of reason, and a signpost for where the practice of faith is headed in a secular age. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray; how fundamentalism affects the psyche; and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but also in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us.
