Amy Joy's Science and Wonders series offers the true tale of a geology student and her professors, warm friendships, and controversy. It involves snowstorms and police, death and dreams and miracles. A terrible chasm appears to loom between faith and science in academia, yet we find God still shows His power and kindness in this world of hard, cold rocks.

Volume 1: On the Edge of the Chasm describes Amy Joy's early friendship with Dr. Stillwell, her weathered geology professor. Amy Joy did not take Historical Geology to cause problems. She intended to mind her own business and learn as much cool geology as she could, but she discovered that God had other plans, and He moved her more carefully, more specifically with Dr. Stillwell than any other person in her life.
