Imagine having lived in the generation that discovered fire. Now, what if current scientific and technological advances reorder our lives every bit as much? Artificial Intelligence, decoding the human genome, links between mind and computer... All these things that were once science fiction are now quickly-and absolutely-becoming science fact. Millions of people feel like aliens in their own country. Like Alice in Wonderland, they no longer understand their families, coworkers, and neighbors. Reality itself has turned slippery. Could machines become sentient?Is "life" really a computer simulation?Does science really have a genetic blueprint for all human life? Believers and unbelievers alike are easily unnerved by such questions. Interestingly though, early Christians, mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers have already addressed these kinds of issues. And they have much to say about our "curiouser and curiouser" new world. In Christianity Through the Looking Glass, pastor, priest, scholar, and counselor Dan Scott invites you to learn what these hallowed ancient voices might have said about faith in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

The waters of Buffalo Creek rose without mercy or warning, tearing apart homes, lives, and faith in an instant. In the aftermath of the catastrophic flood, despair swept through the Appalachian hills-but from the ruins emerged a man they would come to call the Miracle Worker of Mingo County. Through his own recordings and journals, and the voices of those who knew him best, meet Brother Michael Journeyman Cooper, a beacon for the downtrodden and a thorn in the side of the powerful. Step into the mountains. Hear the call of hope. This story will take you deep into the hollers, where serpents are handled with conviction, where coal mines claim lives and dreams, and where faith is not just believed-it's lived.
