A User’s Guide—The Sequel

“Gruning continues his delightfully playful celebration of liberation from dated orthodoxies that have constrained his active mind not only in religion but also in science. He confronts inconsistencies in Scripture, showing how biblical literalism leaves one tied in knots. He is even-handed, challenging the tendency of science to avoid areas of research which do not ‘sound scientific.’ Truly a better way to live in the present world.”


—David Reid, retired clergyperson, United Church of Canada





“If you have questions about how to reconcile your faith with modern science, Herb Gruning is here to provide some valuable insight. Thoughtful, erudite, droll, and always open-minded, Gruning draws upon knowledge from both the ecclesiastical and scientific worlds, helping the modern wayfarer navigate the troubled waters of modern times. Highly recommended for deep thinkers everywhere.”


—Rebecca Wong, herbalist and small business owner





“In his inimitable style, Herb Gruning visits the land shared by science and religion. Like a witty dinner companion, he tells stories from the past, cracks sly jokes, and explores topics as profound as quantum mechanics and as puzzling as the construction of Stonehenge. The vessel that contains them all is his religious vision of our place in the cosmos.”


—Andrew Fullerton, minister, Presbyterian Church in Canada





“Reading A User’s Guide—The Sequel is like having a conversation with the author in person. Gruning’s combination of wit and scholastic achievements presents the ongoing battle between religion and science in such a way that anyone of any faith can easily have an open conversation and a lively debate. I look forward to the sequel of this sequel.”
