About

I’m an author that loves history and the Lord Jesus Christ,my Saviour. Not too unusual for a Christian writer. However, what is unique isthat I grew up on a farm near Arrowwood, Alberta, Canada and now live inCalifornia with my husband and three kids—not in New York, LosAngeles, San Francisco, or any other major North American city.

My own history as a Christian began as a child attendingVacation Bible School at the Arrowwood Gospel Mission. One of the take homepapers asked when the reader was saved. I couldn’t give an answer. I knew thatI believed in Jesus, but I didn’t know for sure if I was going to Heaven when Idie. The next day I couldn’t wait until VBS was over so I could talk with theteacher, Linda Brown, about how to be saved. After repenting and calling on thename of the Lord Jesus Christ for my salvation, I became a new creature and begana new journey through life.

Today I attend Calvary Baptist Church in American Canyon, CAwhere I fellowship with some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever known.

Because of my love for the Lord, I try my best to glorifyHim in my writing. I desire, through my work, to show Christ to those who donot know Him as their personal Saviour and to encourage and exhort those whodo.

Though I loved writing short stories as a child and throughmy youth, writing didn’t take a prominent place in my life until many yearslater when I started writing about horses and horse husbandry for magazines andbooks. That became the catalyst for me to seriously consider writing fiction .. . but not just any fiction—fiction that would present Biblicaltruths through story. This led to me publishing Best of Faith, Fiction, Fun, and Fanciful,and writing more novels, including Joab’sFire which will be released in June 2011.

 I blog at Faith, Fiction, Fun, andFanciful about writing and my faith. I also share some short stories on theblog for FictionFriday. As a further ministry, I do AutographTea Parties for ladies groups where I read something I have written andgive my salvation testimony.

 You can also follow me on Twitter and visit my website: http://www.lynnsquire.com/.

 I hope you join me here and on Faith, Fiction, Fun, andFanciful to explore this journey of life.

 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Description

<p>“<em>We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(</em>Teilhard de Chardin<em>)</em></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;"><em>Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God </em> is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">.</em></p><p>“<em> Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience</em>” (From a reviewer)</p><p>Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.</p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other.  The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">From the same review “</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.</em></p><p><em>(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)</em></p><p> </p>
