There is Only One Great Commandment, unlike A-G's earlier work, Don't Let Science Get You Down, Timothy, is "science-lite," devoted instead to issues of deep spirituality. It is a Christian work, but not a specifically "religious" one: It does not regard the doctrines and sects of men. Instead, it focuses on the core truths of Christianity as expounded in the Holy Bible. In short, it focuses on what all faithful Christians believe and hold in common, not on the ways in which they may differ; e.g., on doctrinal points.

But more than this, Alamo-Girl's testimony shows us how to walk with God in our lives — something she has been doing for nearly five decades. Her main testimony in this book is that there is only ONE Great Commandment, the first: To love God with one's whole heart and soul and mind; that is, to love Him surpassingly above all else. When one is centered in God, all else flows naturally from that, including the love of neighbor. And we begin to bear the image of Christ in our soul....

This work is extraordinarily lovely and spiritually powerful. A labor of love, it is an invitation to "all ye that labor" to "come unto Him," to learn from Him, Christ our Lord. "And He shall give thee rest."

In this chaotic, secularized world we live in, this book shows you how to gain meaning and peace in your life.

I keep my copy close by!

Again, Alamo-Girl, Congratulations — and Thank You for this labor of Love!

In 2006, Alamo-Girl and betty boop published their collaboration, Don't Let Science Get You Down, Timothy, to which marron contributed two brilliant articles. The book has been described by an astrophysicist reviewer as “one of the rare attempts nowadays to restore the unity of science and religion. It presents a good picture of present-day science, focusing on the perennial great questions regarding the relations between Man and the Universe. It attempts the virtually impossible: to present a constructive dialog of diametrically opposed worldviews. It succeeds in opening a challenging avenue of conversation between materialists and open-minded religious people….”

That's such a grin. This reviewer likely thinks he/she is being magnanimous to ascribe the "open-minded" of religious people to be mentioned as worthy of communication with not some but all materialists.

To any reader: there is utterly no conflict between Christianity and science. There is just God's limitless virtue and virtuosity -- and our human finiteness and fallibility, expressed in ontology and epistemology which are clumsy at best, each through our glasses darkly.
