I absolutely loved this book. It is beautiful to read, thoughtful, and most of all joyful. I enjoy reading about both about theology and astronomy, so I expected to find ‘A Jesuit’s Guide to the Stars’ of interest. However it far exceeded my expectations. Guy Consolmagno SJ looks at the connections between God and astronomy from a number of different angles. Some chapters covered ideas I had already pondered, while others brought completely fresh thinking. The book is almost devotional in nature and calls me to again go out to the night sky and “find God in all things”. It is also intelligently written, and a useful examination of how theology and science interact.

I had a copy of the ebook, but I suspect that the hard copy would be even better, given the number of inspirational photographs supplied.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in astronomy, interested in theology, and especially to those who are interested in both.

As someone who has always been fascinated by the cosmos, I was drawn to *A Jesuit's Guide to the Stars* with high hopes of delving deeper into the mysteries of the universe. The promise of blending scientific exploration with spiritual wonder sounded intriguing, and the illustrations are truly beautiful.

However, while the book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and science, it leaned a bit too heavily on the religious aspects for my taste. I was hoping for a more balanced approach that focused equally on the awe-inspiring aspects of astronomy, but the spiritual focus overshadowed the scientific elements for me.

If you're looking for a contemplative read that explores the cosmos through the lens of faith, this might be the perfect book for you. But for those who, like me, prefer a more scientific approach to the stars, this book may not fully resonate.
