Thanks Krista!
I love the framework of the book, the interviews, and the thread that binds them together. I have thought a lot about how science and religion interact and this book helps to connect some dots. I wish that I could have listened to this book, like "Becoming Wise," so that I could hear the discussions.

A pleasant surprise!
This book had been recommended to me but it wasn't at all what I expected. Nevertheless, I found it interesting and challenging. I have enjoyed reading it.

Spirited interviews, substantial and accessible
Although I thought I was ordering a different book by title, the delight with which I devoured this book was a reminder, at least to me, that chance is only the fulfillment of what was purposed to be.Having heard a few of these NPR interviews, having them in hand and in print is a better way to consider the depth and breadth of the scientists as occasional/accidental philosophers - and follow more closely their very thoughtful words.

Excellent softcover version of a gift-worthy book
Bought as a gift, softcover version of an excellent book about the nexus between science and faith. This version makes a good gift; my friend took it to read on an airplane.

This is an excellent presentation of the issues surrounding the subject of science vs. religion as they pertain to everyday activities in our current cultural climate. The book is a mind-blowing display of how science and religion dovetail in their respective views of the larger universe we live in. Once started, I could not put the book down.

An interesting book
We are using this book for a church discussion group - one chapter each time we meet. It works well for that. I have read several chapters so far and found it very interesting.

Conversations with people who I'd love to have a conversation with
Conversations with interesting and talented people with whom I was not familiar: scientists,historians, people with multiple specialties.Krista shows a talent for asking provocative questions.

I am a big fan of Krista Tippett. Her interviews do not translate consistently into compelling prose. Some of the interviews were compelling and others not much. I consider the book uneven. Inspired in places and lackluster in other parts.
