And now, with church attendance on the decline and increasing cultural independence from Christian social norms, this trend has reached a tipping point: the fastest growing religion in America is \"none.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Mike McHargue understands the pain of unraveling belief. In \u003ci\u003eFinding God in the Waves\u003c\/i\u003e, Mike tells the story of how his Evangelical faith dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his identity, his friendships, and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't theology or scripture that led him back to God—it was science. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Full of insights about the universe, as well as deeply personal reflections on our desire for certainty and meaning, \u003ci\u003eFinding God in the Waves\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital exploration of the possibility for knowing God in an age of reason, and a signpost for where the practice of faith is headed in a secular age. Among other revelations, we learn what brain scans reveal about what happens when we pray; how fundamentalism affects the psyche; and how God is revealed not only in scripture, but in the night sky, in subatomic particles, and in us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crown Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010794307824,"sku":"9781101906040","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101906040_p0.jpg?v=1763689800","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101906040","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
