I am reviewing a copy of The Gene through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:

This book reminds us We are the dwelling place of God — it is woven into our very DNA. And then asks the question, do we change the core of who we are by manipulating our genes? Is Gene therapy a miraculous cure or a slippery slope into eugenics?

Dr. Nicklaus Hart and Maggie Russell enjoy the splendor and passion of a honeymoon in Hawaii following their wedding. They learn that their union. has brought new life but the overflowing joy of Maggie’s pregnancy and their romantic getaway is interrupted by the shocking news of a genetic disorder discovered in Maggie’s family lineage.

The possibility of both Maggie and the baby carry the mutated gene for the horrific Huntington’s disease is a devastating possibility that shakes Maggie’s Faith to its core. Having to face a dreadful diagnosis. Nick and Maggie seek peace as they wrestle with the heartbreaking discovery of a genetic disease versus the knowledge that God is good that he made their baby in his image.
