No other book has influenced the development of my worldview more than How Now Shall We Live. Colson and Pearcey’s argument that our most deeply held beliefs impact every aspect of our life has forced me to ask questions about how we should treat farm animals, what the limits of genetic selection should be, and how should we approach the difficult ethical dilemmas that we all face in the rapidly evolving world of genetics. These questions have helped mold my teaching philosophy and research program. It is my hope and prayer that this book will likewise challenge the reader’s basic assumptions about who they are and encourage them to approach their life with the confidence that comes from knowing they have a greater purpose.
