Reflections of A Scientist

Ever since I heard the story told by Henry B. Eyring about his father weeding a row of beats while suffering intense pain due to bone cancer, I have been curious as to the kind of man Henry Eyring was. President Eyring has been one of my favorite speakers in General Conference for as long as I can remember. He has such a passion for the gospel and wears his emotions on his sleeve. He must have had great parents to raise such a faithful son.



I heard of this book from my mission president (who was the Dean of Chemistry at Weber State) while I was in the mission field, and just a few months ago I finally got around to reading it. This book is extremely hard to find. It is out of print and usually sells for around $40 on-line. But, luckily I found it at the Hyrum library.





Now that I have read the book, I must say that I was somewhat surprised by the personality of Henry Eyring. He was very funny, energetic, and very real. In the book he writes about faith and science and how they go together. But that is not all, he shares many experiences of how he lived the gospel. I would highly recommend it (if you can find it).
