<p class=ql-align-justify><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Mathematical Devotionals</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories:</span></p><ul><li><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Mathematical connections to Christianity</span></li><li><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians</span></li><li><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics</span></li><li><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics</span></li></ul><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>The devotionals use mathematics statistics computer science and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial. </span></p><p></p><p><strong>What Others are Saying about this book:</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Mathematicians scientists and folks intrigued by the wonders of the physical universe and the human spirit may be blessed by walking along with Professor Dale Hathaway throughout a year----especially if they have been charged from on high to integrate their faith with their teaching. Each pithy offering combines a mathematical insight a life thought and a graphical image into a holistic veritable balm of Gilead homily for each new day. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>─</span><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Andrew Simoson </strong><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Professor of Mathematics King University</span></p><p></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>About the Author:</strong></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Dale K.
