Dr Denis Alexander is a neuroscientist who believes passionately in both the biblical doctrine of creation and the coherence of evolutionary theory. His book draws on the latest genetic research. What do we mean by creation and evolution? What are the common scientific objections to evolution? Is evolution atheistic? Who were Adam and Eve? Can the concept of the Fall be reconciled with evolutionary theory? How could a God of love create a world where animals kill each other? What about intelligent design? The author concludes that the question in the title is a false dichotomy: we do not need to choose, since both are true. 'Nature is what God does' - Augustine

This book enables Christians to assess their impact on world poverty through their current lifestyles. It then provides practical proposals for action to help reduce poverty, safeguard the environment and promote human rights. Our impact in the world results from the choices that we each make and for which we are responsible to God. D.L. Moody said,"Out of 100 people, one person may read the Bible, but 99 will read Christians." This passionate book helps us to discern between the many spiritual alternatives on offer today, and shows us how to choose the costly path of discipleship. With a multitude of vivid and original illustrations, Grace shows how we can search out true spiritual gold, resulting in power and a hunger for God.
