Customer Reviews

Science validates Christianity!

Having completed this book, I hated to finish it, it was so full of meaning and gave such a simple application of scientific discoveries to my spiritual life! It used major scientific discoveries such as the expanding universe, black holes, and holograms to illustrate spiritual principles and used the image as a parable to help me understand those principles and how to apply them to my own spiritual travels. Her message is politically correct. It gives a very simple reason for man to be a better and more ecological manager of this world's resources. It is really ecumenical both among Christian denominations as well as the other major religions of the world. It is not religious, it is spiritual. She gives a unique slant and insight into scientific discoveries. And she does this in such a way that someone totally unfamiliar with the scientific concepts can easily grasp the gist of the discovery, and then see how it speaks to our relationship with our higher power, our fellow man and all of creation. Even with some recent research into quantum physics and some acquaintance with astronomical findings, it took this book to really integrate so much of that knowledge into a simple, easy to understand message that I can re-read to find ever deeper and richer meaning. I could go on and on, but let me highly recommend this book by saying what an exquisite treat it was! The topics and their presentation were truly "Radically Amazing"!

Radical Amazement

"Radical Amazement" is amazing in itself as it shows how scripture and the Gospels with the new Cosmos Story compliment each other and are not at all incompatible. It is so very helpful for prayer.

Fascinating and Pleasureable Read!

As a student of the Universe Story and the New Cosmology, I have read many, many books and articles on the subject. This is by far, the most readable and entertaining, as well as thought provoking and imaginative that I have found. It is at the top of my Most Recommended List for anyone interested in this subject. Based on this volume, I look forward to future works by this author. Joyce Johnson Rouse, Earth Mama© Music,

Amazing Road to Hope

For many years I have been reading about and exploring the evolutionary Universe with others, groping for words, searching for a language able to convey the magnitude and wonder of what we are discovering. As I began reading Radical Amazement I had the sense at once of a freshness of approach that delighted me. Here is someone who has done it! Judy has a wonderful gift for inviting people into this new way of seeing that is at once straightforward and inspiring, full of amazement and not at all threatening.'

Bringing the unimaginable into focus.

As a scientist of more than 30 years and a lifelong spiritual traveler, I have always been aware of the incredible concordance of the ineffable experienced in both my physical reality and the Other. In Radical Amazement, the author smoothly and convincingly illumines the cohesiveness between modern theories of cosmology and theological reflection. Many readers, whether or not previously initiated into the quirkiness and mystery of the physical universe, will thank Judy Cannato for her deft and clear synthesis of this reality with the Reality that permeates and motivates all. Finally, and most importantly, we are led by the author's insights and questions for reflection to come to rest focused on the meaning behind our journey ... transformation. We are invited into the immenseness of our own possibilities, to move from where we are to the outer boundaries of what we can become. Thanks, Judy, for your effort and your fidelity to your calling. We look forward to your continuing contribution to our radical transformation. -Br. Harry N. Finkbone, OSL, OblSB
