(View all of my posts on this book: Love's Immensity )
I want to encourage you to read this book! It is enlightening, deep, and beautifully written. I am completely intrigued with Bertha Carr-Harris and can't find any info on her!
This is what I know:
Birth
Death
She was an author from Canada
That's it! That's all I can find. :(
Chapter 1 page 20-
“How beautiful is light!
How mysterious in its colours and warmth! How gladdening! How all-pervasive! How pure!
How life-giving and healing!”
Bertha then goes off!
She tells about scientist and astronomers and their findings, about how
awesome God is. She tells about the
stars and the sun. I love it! A woman in 1927 talking about scientific
things like telescopes and billions of stars just cracks me up. She mentioned a cube of sodium being made up
of “molecules arranged in nine million layers, each layer containing nine
million rows, and each row nine million molecules standing side by side or
seven-hundred-and-twenty-nine quintillions of molecules.” This woman was in awe of God!
She gets on her soapbox of creation vs evolution. She quotes people like Darwin and H.G.
Wells. Basically, she says how stupid it
is to believe in evolution (of course she says it much more eloquently than I)
and that it takes more science to believe in a Creator! You go girl!
Bertha Carr-Harris was a woman ahead of her time.
