Book Question
Last year I had trouble choosing between two Lenten studies. I decided to go with one and leave the other -- a book I saw described at Amazon -- for this year. Now, however, I cannot remember or find the book. It was about physics and spirituality, and had I think the word "grace" in the title. If that rings any bells for any of you, I will be very grateful if you will let me know. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently saw Paul Davies speak about Physics and God and he was absolutely brilliant. He's written a few books on the topic which I might be willing to recommmend even though I haven't actually read them myself. I would warn you though that he is a physicist and might use crazy technical terms. Good luck on your pursuit!
thanks for the thoughtful comment. fritjof capra wrote a book called the tao of physics...it's sitting here on my desk actually, it's supposed to be wonderful, and i really enjoyed his later book web of life.
and if you scrap it all, daniel dennet, a philosophy prof at Tufts U just come out with a book about religion and philosophy...you may have seen this already but: here's a link to the NYTimes article on it.
Quantum Grace: Lenten Reflections on Creation and Connectedness, by Judy Cannato?
The only book I have ever read that combined physics and spirituality/religion was called "Quantum Lotus" and it was about physics and Buddhism. Keep it copasetic.
Between work, home, and children, I can't seem to find time to read more than the occasional scifi. Cudos to you. You seem to have many irons on the fire. I tend to burn even irons. Ha, Ha.
