He is the God of Jacob: He is the God of Science

By Magnolia West

The beauty, grace, and mercy of God are profound aspects of His divine nature. Grace is God's unmerited favor given to humanity out of love and benevolence. It is an expression of God's goodwill and compassion towards us, despite our imperfections and shortcomings. God's mercy is the compassion of our Father given as an expression of God's willingness to withhold the punishment that we deserve. God's mercy is all-encompassing, extending to everyone regardless of our past. It is through God's mercy that we find hope, and redemption. God's beauty, grace, and mercy serve as sources of inspiration, guidance, and comfort.

One of the most profound pursuits we can embark upon is the quest to explore the existence and nature of God. The search for God is a deeply personal endeavor that will change you. It is a quest that extends beyond the boundaries of religious traditions, philosophical perspectives, and cultural backgrounds. It is a universal pursuit that has the power to transcend differences and unite us in our shared inquiry into the nature of our existence.

This book is an invitation to explore the complexities and nuances of searching and finding God. I recognize that each person's journey is unique, with varying paths, insights, and experiences. I offer no singular route or dogmatic assertion but rather provide a map for contemplation, and exploration while also sharing my deeply personal journey with God and my struggle to find God. Within these pages, you will encounter my journey of deep spiritual encounters, consideration of philosophical musings, and diverse perspectives from scientists, thinkers, theologians, and ordinary individuals who have undergone their own personal quests for God. I try to offer perspectives of people who found God and those who have not. These perspectives serve as beacons, guiding us through the labyrinth of questions, doubts, and revelations that arise along the way.

The search for God is not limited to the realms of intellect or theology alone. It embraces the entirety of human existence, touching upon our emotions, intuition, and our capacity for awe and wonder. It is crucial to approach this journey with an open mind, as the landscape of personal beliefs and insights is vast and diverse. As you immerse yourself in these pages, you are encouraged to explore the different perspectives, question assumptions, and engage in a thoughtful dialogue with the ideas presented. In your search for God, answers may come in unexpected moments, through serendipitous encounters, or in the depths of silence and solitude. It may be found in the richness of religious traditions, the wonders of nature, the compassion extended by others, unexpected coincidences or the profound depths of introspection. Often God is found in the depths of pain and hurt.

My intent with this book is to ignite the flame of curiosity to encourage you to embark on your own personal exploration, trusting your own intuition and inner wisdom on this extraordinary journey. May this book serve as a companion and a guiding light amidst the search for God, nurturing your quest for meaning, purpose, and a deepened understanding of the marvelous creation that surrounds us. This book is called the God of Jacob because God calls himself the God of Jacob, more than He calls himself the God of Israel. God loved Jacob before he was transformed into Israel. God loved the sinner, schemer, liar, cheater. He is the God of Jacob, He is the God of you and me.

With open hearts and curious minds, let us embark together on the adventure of searching and finding God.

The great argument used now against any theological proposition is not that it is untrue or unthinkable or unedifying or unscriptural or unorthodox, but simply that the modern mind cannot accept it - Ronald Knox

The heavens declare the glory of God. Who is man that you are mindful of him - King David
