Book Review- Rise of the Time Lords: A Geek's Guide to Christianity

Hello, dear readers! Sorry this post is late. I normally write my posts ahead of time and schedule them, but I got a bit behind. Without further ado, here is today's book review for #reviewsdaytuesday.

Rise of the Time Lords: A Geek's Guide to Christianity
Are you a geek? A science-fiction lover? A Christian? A person who wants to learn about Christianity?
If you answered "yes" to one or more of those questions, this book might be for you. In this book, Michael Belote uses fandom references (e.g., Star Wars, Doctor Who) and general geeky things (e.g., the formation of a star, quantum physics) to explain Christianity. This will allow you to see the bible and religion in a way you never have before.

Some people say, "I don't get all this Christianity stuff. It's too strange." You might think the Trinity is boring and confusing, but when it's explained through Flatland and a Pringles can, suddenly, it seems a bit more interesting. Reading this book really made Christianity come alive for me, and besides, it's fun! You get to learn about cool geeky concepts and Christianity!

This is a must read for any Christian geek. If you read it, you will quickly find it is worth your while. It gives you a good working knowledge of God and the Bible, but not so much that it makes your head explode. It explains things in a way that makes sense to us and provides a fresh new perspective from all the theology books that give you facts and explanations, but none of the fun stuff we geeks adore.

So what are you waiting for? It's time to go read the book! Allons-y!
