“Truth, Love, and Wisdom lie within these pages.”  This simple yet powerful phrase is the dedication, attributed to the Creator, introducing the book to all of its readers.  After reading the book, I believe it truly expresses the sincerity in which the words of this work of non-fiction were written.

After discovering the premise to Jerry and Marcia Pollock’s  book “Putting God into Einstein’s Equations”, I was prepared to read it with an open mind, as my religious and philosophical views somewhat differ from the content held within the pages.  However, what I found at the essence of the book was a story that I could relate to, a beautiful tale of true romance and of a strong faith and devotion to our God and to each other.  While some of the concepts were new and foreign to me, these principles were not.

The book chronicles Jerry’s quest for peace and understanding after the loss of his beloved wife and soul mate Marcia to cancer.  The lessons and concepts that he explores along the way bring him to an understanding and place of comfort, as well as to a bridge for him to connect to his wife once more.  For anyone that has ever lost someone, this comfort is one of the greatest gifts that one can find.

What are the properties of the soul?  What happens after we die?  Can we be once again reunited with those beyond us?  These are just some of the intricate concepts that Pollock explores.  He delves into these issues armed with true belief and with well researched information.  The views of many are incorporate into this book, tying in references as diverse as rabbinical scripture to those of the theorist Albert Einstein.  Theories of the speed of light, past lives, the energy of a soul, and miracles are discussed in great detail in the book and for many can be the first introduction into such ways of thinking.  Pollock gives testimony throughout Putting God into Einstein’s Equations to what he terms the energy of our God-given Divine souls.

I found the fact that Marcia is a co-author to be a unique premise upon which the book is written.  The relationship that he had with her both in this physical world and the spiritual world is truly a beautiful thing; often books do not portray the emotions as well as this work did.  It is a true tale of how faith and love can bring us to a place of real understanding, in this life and the next.  I would recommend this book for anyone that wants to broaden their horizons while enjoying a classic story of love and commitment.
