“If you desire to rediscover enchantment in our disenchanted world, read this book. Let Robert Hesse help you look through a new window to see the beauty of the human spirit, the human mind, of nature and the universe. By doing so, you will discover new depth in understanding Jesus’ prayer, ‘May they all be one. . . .’ Hesse shows that what we often presume to be contradictions are really relationships of opposites: whether the messiness and beauty of life, the oneness of the Divine and human, faith and science, chaos and Providence, matter and spirit, mind and body, the conscious and the unconscious. He has the uncanny art of leading the reader to experience joy in the simplicity and beauty inherent in what might, for the unscholarly, seem like intimidating scientific and theological realities. Take the book in hand and let yourself be enchanted.” Donald Nesti, C.S.Sp., M.A., S.T.L., S.T.D., Founder and Professor Emeritus, The Nesti Center for Faith and Culture, The University of St. Thomas; Former President of Duquesne University “Reading this book, Deacon Robert Hesse gave me a seat on his journey of faith and science, garlanded with his spiritual love. His amazing voyage came across theology, classical and quantum physics, chemistry and finally coming to a crucial, enigmatic and controversial neuroscientific subject: consciousness. I am honored to be his companion in his foldaway researching the mystery of the dying brain. But I am more privileged to be the friend of a man, with plenty of humility, a commonality with those who suffer and always ready to help. Let’s accompany Bob on his astonishing and inspiring journey.” Calixto Machado M.D., Ph.D., Neuroscientist; Discoverer, new state of disordered consciousness; Fellow, American Academy of Neurology; President, International Symposia and Author of book, both titled, Brain Death and Disorders of Consciousness; and Cuban Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
