More Than Meets the Eye - Fascinating Glimpses of God's Power and Design
by Richard A. Swenson, M.D.

Drawing on his background in medicine and the natural sciences, Dr. Swenson examines the wonders of creation and reveals a God who, second by second, sustains His creation in ways we can scarcely comprehend. Swenson presents the unique details of human anatomy and elements of the universe as revealing a majestic God whose mastery of detail is as close as the way our cells operate and the way our hearts beat. We are led to stand in awe of a God whose genius, power, sophistication, and artistry shout in each element of our universe. Dr. Swenson boldly proclaims that we are a treasured creative effort as he interweaves Scripture and science to bring us to a deeper and more personal understanding of our Creator. - NavPress
