Two thumbs up for this pair! These books are fascinating to read, very educational, well researched, and present an amazing wealth of detailed information for their compact size. (Thomas F. Howard Church and Synagogue Libraries )
About the Author
Dan Graves recieved his undergraduate degree from John Wesley College and a M.S. in Library Science from Western Michigan University. An avid, life-long reader, Graves became interested in the topic of apologetics from reading C.S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer, which led to a focus on the personal histories of various scientists of the faith.

This review is from: Scientists of Faith: 48 Biographies of Historic Scientists and Their Christian Faith (Paperback)
This is the benchmark text I used to affirm the origins of the scientific conglomerate as men of FAITH. These researchers were the men who discovered gas law, thermodynamics, the laws of gravity, and many others. One might be surprised that these are the very scientists my generation studied some 50 years ago, as Christian men, but who appear as cold, pragmatic, calculating men, in the science texts, today. The truth is revealed, the challenges, dire efforts sacrificing much to gain understanding of what we now utilize as rudiments of our scientific structure. Not enough of the personalities of these men is exposed in the texts of today, where "Scientists of Faith" personalizes these men. Their struggles as Christians investigating God's mysterious creation are explained as well as their personal hurdles. They were, after all, people, first, Christians second, and sceintists, third.
