Review – The Work of His Hands

David Scott Fields II, Senior Writer • May 4, 2020

This weekend I received my copy of The Work of His Hands by Christian astronaut Colonel Jeffery Williams. I still have quite a bit to read, but his description of the terminator [the day and night boundary] from a Christian perspective really jumped out at me. He begins by quoting Job 26:10, “[God] has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.” He then goes on to say, “Orbiting the earth every 90 minutes, the ISS passes over the terminator twice in that time. The terminator cannot be seen on the ground, but becomes very obvious from orbit. How could the author of Job possibly describe the planet in that way several thousand years ago apart from supernatural inspiration?” Truly our God is exceedingly great! Williams goes on to quote Job 26:14, “Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him!” Amen!
