The Journey to Truth : Physical and Spiritual Realities of Our World

RICHLAND, Wash., Feb. 3 - Recognized physicist and successful entrepreneur, George F. Garlick, PhD, reveals what he believes to be new insights into the physical and spiritual realities of our world in his debut book, The Journey to Truth (VMI Publishing, 2009). Part memoir, part scientific primer the book -- released December 2009 -- hit online retailers and book stores this month.


The book chronicles Garlick's personal passion to reconcile what he believes as biblical truths with his own scientific knowledge and credits his success with strong faith. From childhood, Garlick's profound interest in the world around him put him at odds with his family's strong faith beliefs. Captivating readers with frank narrative, Garlick poignantly draws parallels between scriptural references and modern scientific discoveries that until now have yet to be revealed.


His story is one of success and failure, but his profound connection between scientific discoveries -- from the Big Bang to the 5th dimension -- and theology is both overwhelming and humbling. As readers delve into Garlick's story, they can't help but "walk the path" toward a better understanding of the truth that exists about our spiritual and physical existence. According to Garlick, "By using our mind to explore the mysteries of the universe, we can achieve a better understanding of our relationship with God."


In the book, Garlick refers to the "mountain of truth," a metaphor for what he believes to be the relationship between science and faith. The mountain's terrain relates to the scientific and biblical ascent to the truth that Garlick believes exists at the summit and is central to the book. As Garlick himself writes, "To achieve a richer life, we need to keep pursuing, keep climbing the mountain of truth, because all those that seek shall find."


All proceeds from the book will benefit charitable organizations in the Tri-Cities.


George Garlick was born and raised in Frontier County, Nebraska. He earned a doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering and Solid State Physics from Iowa State University. He has received wide recognition for his work in pioneering acoustical holography for medical imaging and other applications.
