This book is written with massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, etc., in mind, but as an Alexander Technique teacher I find it excellent, thorough and thought provoking. Well worth the price and time.

This book is deeply thought-provoking and covers a very difficult topic.  I especially appreciated the author's inclusion of brain research on the effect of meditation, prayer, and community on people.  Our understanding of religion and God is evolving.

From the beginning of time and undoubtedly until the end of time man has been a curious race. With this curiosity we have found both ends of the thought spectrum being pushed.  Is there an omniscient being that created this world and us? Are we the result of evolution and the natural growth process of this world? Author D.R. Pope does an excellent job portraying both sides of the story for Science and Religion in this gripping novel.

The writing style is unique, but it strangely fits the bill perfect in blog-like entries. These blog entries allow you to feel more immersed in the story as you watch in unfold. This book will stir your mind and create thought provoking debates within your self. I will definitely recommend this book to friends that like this type of novel. However, I can see it is not for everyone, recommend this book wisely (it does feel like Science has the upper hand).

An excellent review and fresh perspective on life, death, creation and science; showing the coherence of all perspectives.  Uniquely qualified as a neuroscientist as well as a solid Biblical scholar, Joel Green rethinks the Biblical references to the meanings of life and death.  He clarifies particularly the state of the dead-in-Christ; reinterpreting, in the light of modern linguistic understandings, the references to the relationship of body and soul (unity) and their unlikely separation in death.  He also describes thoughts on the immortal body of Jesus and the significance of resurrection into a new body.  Excellent science and theology in harmony.

Imagine Heaven is excellent.  I have a totally different thought process regarding dying and what Heaven could be like.  I'm not so afraid of earthly death after reading this book.  What the author shares causes me to think about the possibilities, very thought provoking material.  I truly find the book and subject matter very intriguing,  challenging my old believes and recognizing what the scriptures meant.

I was amazed at how excellent this book is.  It is not just an analysis of C.S. Lewis' penetrating thoughts on modern science and scientism, but it explains and analyses the present conflict between those who believe this universe and this world were designed and created--by whom is a different question--and scientism and Darwinian evolution with its specific insistence that it was wholly accidental and without purpose or design or intelligent creator/designer/cause.  The contributors do an outstanding job of laying out the various positions and reasons on both sides in a clear objective way, then bringing C.S. Lewis's thought to bear on the whole subject.  It begins with a strong forward and first chapter by John West (the editor), then moves to a strong final chapter by Michael M. Miller.  It is a gripping book.  I recommended it to my wife, and she read it and also thoroughly enjoyed it.

Interesting and thought provoking read. Worth re-reading as I don't feel I got all of it as I should have. His comments on Christianity through his characters are very insightful and we can all find ourselves somewhere in this book.

What a book.  I am reading it for the second time and think I will repeat again.  Good, even great insights and clear ways of handling different situations.  All in all, an excellent and provocative discussion.
