Chronicle Supposing Books Mormon Scientist: The Life and Faith of Henry Eyring

Twice in the final years of his life, Elder Neal A. Maxwell told a grandson of Henry Eyring's, You need to write your grandfather's story. This is that story of Henry Eyring, perhaps the most acclaimed scientist ever to come from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a book about science and Mormonism, written to be easily understood by newcomers to both subjects. It demonstrates why one of the Church's highest-profile intellectuals was also one of its humblest believers. In fact, this story of Henry Eyring shows how intellect and belief go hand-in-hand and how simple, faithful people can change the world.

Appraise About Books Mormon Scientist: The Life and Faith of Henry Eyring

I found it rather choppy and often without a clear point. I like learning about Henry Eyring and there were phrases here and there that I liked. Overall it was unnecessarily wordy and the last half was repetitive. I've heard Faith of Scientist is better so I will read that soon. Hopefully it's not watered down like this book.

I enjoyed reading about Henry Eyring's life and testimony. I loved that his great passions were science and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He had no difficulty in reconciling the two. He was not afraid to admit that their were things he did not know in both areas. His quest for knowledge and truth was insatiable.My favorite quote was the advice Henry's father gave when he was leaving for college: "in this Church you dont have to believe anything that isnt true. You go over to the University of

What a disappointment! This biography of Henry Eyring could have been so much better! I was hoping for something like Walter Isaacsons Einstein, since the two mens lives were nearly parallel. They were both brilliant (and slightly eccentric) scientists whose discoveries rocked the world. They even knew each other at Princeton! But whereas Isaacsons biography of Einstein follows a mostly chronological timeline, making for easy reading, Mormon Scientist lurches off into one direction, and then

I loved this book. And I highly recommend it to anyone who has trouble balancing "logic" with "faith."I am typically not one to read biographies, but this one sounded really good to me and came with a good recommendation and I'm glad I read it. While giving the story of Henry Eyring and his life, it showed how it's possible to a scientist, believe in scientific things, believe in logical things, but still have a strong and vibrant faith. Eyring was a high caliber scientist who worked with

Twice in one month I heard from a young woman and an older woman anti-evolution statements in church that made me so uncomfortable. I had felt both times when those people spoke as though they believed they were representing Mormon doctrine when I don't feel that they were. Yet, at the same time, I didn't know how to respond without possibly shaking their faith when they clearly felt there was a conflict (or without at least coming across combative since it's the sort of thing that I lack

If you have ever wondered how to reconcile long held beliefs taught by your religious leaders and holy scriptures, with what you now to know to be scientifically true, e.g.:* A 6000 years old earth that it was created in 7 days vs. overwhelming scientific evidence that points to an earth that is 4.5 billion years old.* On the first day of Creation the night was separated from the day; on the third day the plants were put on the earth; but the sun was not created until the fourth day vs. the fact

Guys, I didn't see this coming, but this is my favorite book I've read this year. I read dozens of sections out loud to Chris because they were so funny or tender or historically fascinating (scientific advances, tons of Utah/Mormon history, battles in Mexican Revolution, etc.).
