Overview:

Michael Guillen is a highly respected physicist and author. He clearly explains how science shattered his previous atheism and actually revealed his need for faith in Christ. Using science, he attempts to expound on how the facts can lead us to God’s truth rather than leading us away from that truth. His testimony is strong and his reasoning is right on. But many of his words are couched in very complicated and technical verbiage. The book (on the fly leaf) is described as very readable but some of it was not so readable for this reviewer without my dictionary close by. But if you love science and all the terms that go with it, Believing is seeing may be just the book for you.
