  • HIGHLY recommend.

    Good heavens is the content that I truly feel everyone needs. The poetic and spiritual relationship between science and faith is perhaps my fav thing ever. Also Daniel is an amazing soul. A few years back Daniel sent me a signed copy of The Story of the Cosmos: How the heavens declare the glory of God.

    Daniel thank you so much!
