Is magic real? Could anything be real that can't be quantified or scientifically investigated? Are qualities like love, beauty, and goodness really just about hormones and survival? Are strangely immaterial things, like thought and personhood, fully explainable in scientific terms? Does nature itself have any intrinsic value, mysterious presence, or transcendent horizon? Once we ask these questions, the answer is pretty obvious: of course science can't give us a complete picture of reality. Science is very good at what it is good at, but highly important aspects of human meaning are simply outside of science's knowledge range. So how might we better relate scientific facts to qualitative mysteries? How might we integrate our powerful factual knowledge with wisdom about the higher meaning of things? This book defines magic as the real qualities and mysteries of the world that science just can't grasp. It looks at how we came to put magic in the box of subjective make-believe. It explores how we might get it out of that box and back into our understanding of reality

A great resource for adults and kids
I bought this book thinking it would benefit my child, however I received an education in it too. Learnt so much about key and brave Christians across history, as I didn't know many of the people listed in it. Would recommend.
Everyone a Child Should Know

This is a must read.
This book is very encouraging, sharing how God is working in the Middle east, growing His Kingdom . It is also very challenging to Christian women( and men too, I am sure) in the relative comfort of the West, as to our degree of passion, love and concern for our unsaved friends and neighbours.
