The book

One journey. Two very different perspectives.

Black Holes and Other Works of God brings Scripture and the physical universe together in one journey: knowing God more deeply through a greater understanding of His creation, and considering how that relationship can shape your life.

Part 1

God Seen. Everything Changes.

Part 1 explores God's purpose, authority, and personal character through Scripture. It invites you to consider who governs your life, why you are here, and what it means to know God personally.

  • The Moment Everything Changes
  • God's Purpose for Creation
  • Authority
  • Who Am I?
  • The Reliability of God's Word
  • When God Reveals Himself
Part 2

The Science

Part 2 explores light, energy, motion, relativity, time, and black holes through accessible explanations and familiar analogies. These wonders invite a deeper appreciation of the Creator's power, wisdom, and eternal nature.

  • The Building Block of Creation
  • Energy Cannot be Created
  • Quantum Force and Motion
  • Reverse Engineering Relativity
  • Time Dilation
  • Black Holes and Eternity

About Mike

Michael D. Grayson

Combat Veteran • Technology Pioneer • Entrepreneur • Author • Student of Science & Scripture

Mike wrote Black Holes and Other Works of God to help Christians know God more deeply through understanding His creation. He saw a gap between what people were discovering about the universe and what they were concluding about its Creator.

His background spans combat service, satellite communications, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship. His formal theological study has been accompanied by roughly 25 years of lay teaching and leadership at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas. He brings science and Scripture together to encourage thoughtful faith, deeper trust, and a more personal relationship with God.

Before you begin

A few reasonable questions.

You do not need to agree with every conclusion before you start. Curiosity is enough for the first step.

The book invites you to consider God's power, wisdom, authority, and purpose through creation and Scripture, then reflect on what that understanding means for your own life. Growth comes through your relationship with God—through faith, trust, prayer, and obedience. The book offers a starting point for learning and reflection; that relationship is what shapes how you live.

No. The science sections are written for a general reader and use familiar examples and analogies. The purpose is understanding, not solving equations.

It deliberately brings both together. Part 1 focuses on God, purpose, authority, identity, and Scripture. Part 2 explores light, energy, relativity, time, and black holes. The connection between those two perspectives serves one purpose: helping readers know God more deeply.

Start with the question that genuinely interests you. The site is designed for exploration rather than requiring you to adopt a label or begin with a predetermined level of belief.

If purpose is on your mind, begin with the opening journey and Chapter 2. If morality or culture is your question, start with Chapter 3 on Authority. For identity and Scripture, begin with Chapters 4 and 5. If the universe is what brought you here, start with Part 2 and the physics path.
