Beginning Matters is a book about beginnings—of the universe, of life, of meaning. It seeks to meet humanity’s hunger to questions lingering in our consciousness and why it matters.
The journey lifts off with faith-shaped narratives of origins, soaring across continents and centuries. From there, it asks how we know what we know, and why we believe what we believe, before guiding us through the great accounts of Science and Scripture with a grounded, discerning gaze, opening minds and souls to perspectives long overlooked, and often not fully appreciated.
With equal seriousness, this book reflects Science’s narrative, showing its growth in the last decades, and displays Scripture as the most ancient and steadfast account of origins, a historic register of Creation and Redemption—with a voice timeless and claims enduring.
Those questions—provocative, unsettling, profound—form the heartbeat of this book. Their honest answers through the lenses of Science and Scripture uncover blind spots. Such a journey demands courage to question and humility to listen with readiness to welcome truth—even when it arrives clothed in forms least expected.
As the author puts, “It is time to bridge the gap—to expose both the ignorance of the religious who dismiss Science and the arrogance of the secular who disregard Scripture.”
This Premiere Author’s Edition had early reviews from alpha and beta readers, men and women of all ages from North and South American, European, African, and Asian heritage.

“A fascinating subject — and the take on it, even more so. It’s refreshingly balanced, not trapped in the usual tug-of-war between extremes.
