This book outlines Christ’s “Sermon on the Mount” about the beatitudes as an eight-step recipe for this inner peace and joy.

The book is a new look at the ingredients. It starts by exploring the common mistake most people make in their daily search for inner peace and happiness, and then proposes Jesus’s solution to that problem. It ends by suggesting concrete ways to apply his solution.

More to the point, Part 1 highlights the problem that Jesus wanted to help us fix with the beatitudes. It asks why so many people are not as content and happy as they’d like to be despite having within them all they need. It finds that, in our quest for happiness, too often we only try to bring our “happiness gage” out of red, negative territory, and crank it all the way up to zero.

Part 2 then explains that the only way to find true inner peace and positive fulfillment in our lives is the way Jesus taught us in his Sermon on the Mount about the eight beatitudes. These are described in detail, using examples that show how each beatitude progresses logically to the next one, like sequential steps, and that all the pieces come together to form a broad, beautiful picture that has a deep meaning for our lives.

Finally, Part 3 of the book offers ways to apply Jesus’s advice directly in our daily life, how to make it all work for lasting inner peace and happiness, for our beatitude.

Now and then, a powerful book comes along that we can fall into and be transformed in our relationship with God. Has Science Killed God? is such a book. This warm and deeply engaging landmark work is a progressive journey from the wonders of the universe to intimate closeness to God. It not only reveals why your Christian faith has everything to gain from close scrutiny by three key branches of human reasoning, starting with science, but it will touch something deep and true within you. It will stretch your mind and coax your heart all the way to God, so that you can acquire the peace and unity of spirit that can only come from complete confidence in him.

The book’s subtitle is Three Powerful Ideas that Will Reignite your Faith. These are:

1. Science points to God more strongly today than ever before.  
2. We can experience the presence of God in our hearts once we know how.  
3. God’s ways make full sense, despite the suffering we see in the world.
