Matt Landry, a retired aerospace engineer based in Denver, authored "The Evolutionary Lens of Teilhard de Chardin," a 440-page book examining how the ideas of the French Jesuit priest and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin might offer a way to reconcile scientific and religious understandings of human origins.

The book, published through Page Publishing, was released in January 2026 and runs 440 pages in paperback, according to publisher listings. An audiobook edition, narrated by John Bundy, is also available.

Teilhard de Chardin, who died in 1955, spent much of his career trying to fit the theory of evolution into a Christian theological framework, arguing that the universe was moving toward greater complexity and consciousness rather than unfolding by chance alone. His writings were controversial within the Catholic Church during his lifetime and were not fully published until after his death. Landry’s book applies that framework to a broader argument: that in Landry’s view, scientific and religious inquiry should be seen as mutually reinforcing rather than antagonistic.

"Nietzsche suggests that ‘peering into the abyss’ is a frightening exercise, but a clear-eyed grasp of the near-infinite universe can yield not only a better understanding of it, but one in which we ourselves can be seen as more relevant to it," Landry writes, according to the publisher’s description. He frames Teilhard de Chardin’s perspective as a way to see how, in his words, "the great human enterprises of science and religion can harmonize into a grand vision of reality."

The publisher describes the book as aiming to show that religious and scientific viewpoints can work in tandem to address larger questions about existence, rather than being used to disprove one another. No detailed biography of Landry beyond his aerospace engineering background accompanied the announcement.

Readers can obtain the book from Page Publishing directly, or through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Apple’s digital bookstore.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the notable thing here is that a career spent in aerospace engineering, not theology or philosophy, is what’s driving this particular argument for synthesis between faith and science.

Greg Stuart, a lifelong resident of St. Louis, has published his debut novel, "Lifeline," a suspense thriller centered on a man who can deliver messages from the recently deceased to their grieving families.

The book follows Damian Hunter, who gains this ability after a near-death experience, per the press release. For a time, the gift serves as a source of comfort for families who receive final words from lost loved ones. The story turns when Hunter is given a narrow window to deliver a message to what the announcement describes as one of the most feared people in the country. He sets out on the errand uncertain whether he can even be believed, let alone survive the attempt, with what the publisher describes as time running out and opposition closing in.

"Lifeline" was released by Newman Springs Publishing for purchase at retail locations and digital platforms including Apple iBooks, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. No detailed author biography accompanied the announcement beyond Stuart’s St. Louis roots and this being his first novel.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the premise — a reluctant messenger forced to confront the most dangerous person imaginable — is a familiar thriller setup, and the real test will be whether Stuart’s execution gives it the tension the concept promises.
