Rarely does an author have the gift for spanning the divide between faith, science and storytelling, but Forrest Maready has found his voice within this exploding genre. A masterful storyteller, Maready is able to explain complex medical and scientific phenomenon simply, often woven within the fabric of a human-sized account. Like Erik Larson or Candice Millard, Maready dives deep into historical literature in search of the interesting, the obscure, and the frightening–all in an attempt to inform and educate the reader. Maready’s works read more like detective thrillers—short chapters, fast-paced action, often with a stunning conclusion that will surprise the most astute student.

But that is not all. Maready employs this same introspection in his attempt to understand the foundations of the Christian faith. With an unrelenting desire for the truth, he peels back the layers of dogma and doctrine that have been added over the years to reveal the bright message of hope that lies beneath. If you have a weekend to spare, grab a Maready book and get prepared to be entertained and enlightened!
