Francis Collins to Lead the NIH

July 9, 2009 by Alex Chediak

Yesterday President Obama nominated Dr. Francis Collins to be the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Collins is highly regarded for his pioneering work in guiding the Human Genome Project to completion. If confirmed by the Senate, he will oversee the NIH’s operations and (in 2009) its $31 billion annual budget dedicated to scientific research. Collins is also a born-again Christian (having been converted from atheism by the aid of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis) and the author of The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief which spells out his thoughts on the origins of human life.
Former NIH director Bernadine Healy, M.D., praises Obama’s selection.

Publishers have been cranking out books with all sorts of directions to help Christians navigate the treacherous waters between the buoys of singleness and marriage, and I know of none that is more clear, concise and helpful than With One Voice.

With One Voice is clearly written and God-centered. Our eighteen year-old daughter just read it and restrained herself from underlining nearly the whole thing!
