Thoughtful non-believers often marvel at the way their intelligent , reasoning friends hold to Christian faith . Meanwhile , many Christians have become suspicious of science .
As someone who regularly engages with both kinds of response , Dr Francis Collins has much to teach us by his gracious example .
He highlights four core sources of clear thinking : truth , science , faith , and trust . Rather than pitting these against each other , he shows how they function best when embraced in unity .
“ Dr Francis Collins is a bridge person in a polarised time . Amid the shrillness of our era , Collins offers a calming voice of hope , as well as practical suggestions on how to heal the nation ’ s wounds .”
— Philip Yancey .
“ Francis Collins offers us a path back to wisdom with this inspirational and unflinching look at his life as a research scientist , a man of faith , and a servant-leader who oversaw the work of our nation ’ s medical research agency through turbulent times .”
— Yo-Yo Ma .
