Synopsis

Join Christian astronomers in exploring the wonders of the cosmos.

In Star Struck, astronomer David Bradstreet and writer Steve Rabey take you on a guided tour of stars, asteroids, galaxies, nebula, black holes, and other cosmic characters, showing that the story of astronomy is a story of people seeking to better understand the Creator's character by studying his two books—Scripture and nature.

Following in the footsteps of top Christian astronomers like Kepler, Galileo, and Big Bang theorist Georges Lemaitre, Bradstreet introduces you to men and women of faith who study newborn stars, search for Earthlike planets, and regularly experience awe, wonder, praise, and humility exploring the complexity and elegance of the cosmos.

A century after the Wright brothers first flew, we're living through an exciting era of space travel and discovery. Every day, powerful new telescopes and probes help us discover wonders hidden from the time of creation. Star Struck helps listeners understand these developments and appreciate the majesty of the God who created the cosmos and sustains it today in ways we are just beginning to comprehend.

Star struck would make a wonderful introduction for middle/high school aged kids to the important truth that (Christian) religion and science can be mutually enriching rather than adversarial.
