This is a bit outside the normal church related discussion, however if anyone enjoys reading science fiction I would recommend Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. http://www.amazon.com/Spin-Robert-Charles-Wilson/dp/076534825X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416782104&sr=8-1&keywords=spin ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.amazon.com/Spin-Robert-Charles-Wilson/dp/076534825X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416782104&sr=8-1&keywords=spin I find science fiction intriguing as it often deals with the future and often deals with a universe much larger and bigger than anything we can understand. A part of the story involves the potential destruction of earth and through the authors eyes we see how people deal with the looming end; some retreat to religion, some to science, some become violent, others become passive. I found myself thinking about my faith journey a lot during the book. Those pieces are tangential to the main story line, but the book made me think about things from a different perspective.
Probably not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like sci-fi I think it will be worth your time.

I’ve actually been reading that book on and off for the last year. Many things have gotten in the way (including a not so well known series called a song of ice and fire [emoji6])I’d say the book deals as much with religious, social and political issues as much as scientific issues. I also enjoy science fiction for the same reason, and think it has played a big role in opening my mind over the years.
Gonna have to finish it now. Then we can discuss it.
