""Robert Y. Ellis' A Collision of Truths is a beautifully written
and insightful autobiography of one man's journey of faith. Ellis
was raised a Christian Scientist but later both rejected and
appropriated many of its central beliefs. Ellis narrates the role
Christian Science played in providing balance and meaning in his
life while questioning its hostility to critical inquiry and modern
medicine. Through sensitive description of the arc of his own life,
Ellis calls his readers to re-examine their basic values and
commitments amidst the complexities of daily existence in a digital
world where knowledge increases exponentially. A genuine
achievement and must read for fellow travelers who are looking for
meaning and hope in our time.""
-Mark I. Wallace, PhD, Professor of Religion, Swarthmore College,
Author of "Finding God in the Singing Rive"r
"A man would be singularly inert if he were not to find this
account vastly tantalizing. What an extraordinary tale The way
Ellis proceeds through his life from earliest childhood on keeps a
reader wanting to know what comes next. And his prose is a blessed
relief to anyone who loves good English prose.""
-Thomas Howard, PhD, author "Christ the Tiger"
This narrative is the first to reveal one Christian Science
family's story, their faith's underpinnings and those singular
episodes that collided with Ellis' beliefs including his Christian
Science mother being treated by a beam of protons at the Harvard
University cyclotron, his father's unsolved murder in Harlem, and
the religious tensions in his childhood home that ultimately
exploded. Ellis' sometimes painful, always captivating journey will
inspire everyone being challenged by today's extraordinary
scientific discoveries which appear to leave no room for God.
