Embracing Our Animal: Youth Ministry in a Secular World EpilogueReviewsA few years ago, George Levine published a book called Darwin Loves You. He admitted in the preface that he ripped off his title from a bumper sticker that said 'Jesus Loves You.' Levine recognized the need for evolution to say something about beauty, art, and purpose. Jason Lief and Sara Sybesma Tolsma return to the original, reminding us that indeed Jesus loves us, and at the same time evolution may offer us the best picture of the origins and continued diversity of our material existence. Believing this doesn't oppose a deep confession in the love and mystery of Jesus Christ but can, with imaginative integration, take us somewhere deeper. Lief and Tolsma, writing as a theologian and scientist, live out this very integration, helping us see how we can address the young Levines in our ministries today. --Andrew Root, author of Exploding Stars, Dead Dinosaurs, and Zombies Sara Sybesma Tolsma and Jason Lief remind us that, indeed, Jesus loves us and that, at the same time, evolution may offer us the best picture of the origins and continued diversity of our material existence. Believing this doesn't oppose a deep confession in the love and mystery of Jesus Christ but can, with imaginative integration, take us somewhere deeper. --Andrew Root, author of Exploding Stars, Dead Dinosaurs, and Zombies Lief and Tolsma address some of the key stumbling blocks science presents to religion to show how clear scientific explanation actually can enhance and deepen our understanding of God's work in creation. This book is helpful in a wide variety of educational forums, from high school into adult life. --Ilia Delio, Josephine C.
