Joy did not write this from a love of the scriptures. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Her experience with the misuse of the Bible had kept her away for many years. Now she reexamines these texts from a new perspective. Instead of looking for answers, she looks for truth. Click here for an excerpt from the book.

“Los hechos de la ciencia y la maravilla del mito se combinan en esta historia inusual de la creación. Las explosivas ilustraciones batik de Troyer capturan el misterio del sujeto y la intemporalidad en remolinos salvajes de color contra negros profundos, ya que las palabras ofrecen una visión única y cósmica que celebra lo divino sin rechazar la ciencia.” — Booklist
