Abstract
"Seeing the Son on the Way to the Moon: A NASA Engineer's Reflection on Science and Faith" by W. Merlin Merritt is a thought-provoking exploration of the harmonious relationship between science and faith, as experienced and understood by a seasoned NASA engineer. In this captivating book, Merritt draws upon his rich professional background and personal spiritual journey to shed light on the intersections of these seemingly divergent realms.

Through vivid anecdotes and introspective reflections, Merritt invites readers on a captivating journey, starting from his formative years as a young aspiring engineer to his involvement in groundbreaking NASA missions that propelled humanity to the moon. He expertly weaves together the marvels of scientific discovery with the profound insights gleaned from his unwavering Christian faith, offering a unique perspective that bridges the perceived gap between scientific exploration and religious belief.

Merritt's insightful narrative not only elucidates the compatibility between science and faith but also highlights the transformative power of integrating these principles into the lives of Christians. By showcasing the wonders of creation, the author inspires readers to embrace a deeper understanding of God's intricate design, fostering a sense of awe and reverence for the natural world. Furthermore, he advocates for a nuanced approach that encourages Christians to actively engage with scientific inquiry, viewing it as a means to uncover the mysteries of God's creation rather than a threat to their beliefs.

This compelling book encourages Christians to expand their intellectual horizons, challenging them to seek harmony between their faith and scientific endeavors. Merritt's experiences as a NASA engineer offer practical insights that can be applied to various aspects of life, encouraging readers to embrace a mindset of curiosity, humility, and open-mindedness. Ultimately, "Seeing the Son on the Way to the Moon" serves as a guide for Christians to navigate the complex terrain of science and faith, allowing them to cultivate a deeper appreciation for both, while enriching their spiritual journey with a profound sense of wonder and discovery.

I am a huge astronomy and space nerd! I love Apollo 13, the moon missions, and watching SpaceX launches. This book absolutely knocked me down with the incredible TRUE accounts of God's miraculous interventions into the American space program, written by someone who was actually there to see it all. If all you've seen was Apollo 13, you only got the tip of the iceberg! Merritt gives God the glory for His work in protecting the lives of space program astronauts countless times, and you won't hear these stories told from a Christian perspective anywhere else.
