Speculating on Eternity

About the Book

Speculating on Eternity is a variety of material from my computer. It has been written over a period of years. It includes articles that lift up my faith in the Lord and represent who I am and what I believe. But it also includes a look at my love for science fiction material and an underlying hope that someday we may be able to delve into the miracles of God’s marvelous gift of space. Intermingled with the rest of the material is the rather special article called Good Morning, Adam, a paper that has been the basis for several theological discussions. It is my hope that you will read and find encouragement, but also that you will study the mind-set of an author who considers himself to be conservative, but who is straining to know the fullness and the majesty of the God who made us and the universe in which He has placed us.

About the Author

Francis Guither has been a writer throughout his life, sharing devotional thoughts not only with his congregation in church newsletters, but also having been published in local newspapers over a period of ten years. This, along with nearly sixty years of preaching, has brought him to a variety of audiences both on radio and TV. In retirement, he has moved to science fiction novels and has been fascinated by the human potential, when we are truly under obedience to our Maker. A verse from St. John 14:12 gives us the words of Jesus shortly before his death: “In truth, I tell you, he who has faith in me will do what I am doing; and he will do greater things still because I am going to the Father.” In the margin, Francis wrote, “Wow!” And he asks himself the question, “What are the wonderful things we may really be able to do, as we continually seek to find the truths of God’s amazing universe?” He has written a variety of materials: a layman’s theology, The God Connection; a devotional book, The Quintus Principle or Spiritual Biscuits for Coffee Break Moments; another devotional book, Pebbles on the Pathway; two science fiction novels, Moonglow and the Spirit People; and The Phobos Phobia.
