"PARALLEL UNIVERSES, A MEMOIR FROM THE EDGES OF SPACE AND TIME"
Here is what people are saying about Parallel Universes, a Memoir from the Edges of Space and Time!
"...This book took me in immediately! I couldn't bear to put it down... I was swept up in the moment of each discovery, both the scientific, and the personal, by the unstilted conversational style of the author. This piece is an easy read, filled with pathos and triumph. In a word...BRAVO!" Jane Harris, December 9, 2010, posted on Amazon.com.
"...I have a lifelong passion for science, and a lifelong commitment to Jesus Christ as well. I believe a scientist can also be a Christian; that he needn't park his brains to have faith in God. I further believe that a scientist should be truly open-minded, and not discount the spiritual part of man and the universe. By turning a blind eye to the spiritual aspect of nature, a scientist is truly blind to a vast realm of scientific knowledge." George Reynolds
"The science is wonderful...the growth and discovery of personal strengths...combined with faith...equally fascinating..." Mary Estes "Linda's book will have a wide appeal in the religious and scientific communities. It will be a great attraction to astronomers and church members. This promised book would bring an important link between science and religion..." Harold Johnson

Here is what people are saying about Space Place!
Linda, I really don't remember when I found your "Space Place" but you have shared with me and the online community the knowledge of the Universe in a way I have never thought possible. The words you write down are so poetic! It get us to feel like we are actually walking next to Opportunity on Mars, Floating next to a Black Hole, watching Stars form in our distant Galaxy. I want to thank you so much for opening all our eyes and minds to the wonderful Universe. I will be reading for as long as you can write! Michael Uberty
Thank you for doing this, You are amazing. The stuff you post is so varied and well layed out that I can catch up in those 6 seconds a day that life leaves me alone. Thank you for keeping the fire lit and keeping our eyes open. People such as you will help us weather the storm of this dessert we are entering in our space exploration
thanks be to God linda I found you and your space place
I heard Linda speak at the LWML event in Ridgecrest on Oct. 2nd and you could hear a pin drop in that sanctuary as she so eloquently and movingly told her story. She is truly inspirational. I would be interested in obtaining her book when it is available.
