Author Michael Hawley explores the intersection of statistics, Scripture, and Christian faith in Numbers Do Count: Finding God in the Diverse Statistics of Everyday Life.
From astronomical figures describing the stars above to the countless vehicles traveling modern roads, Hawley considers how numbers help people understand the scale and complexity of the world around them.
Drawing from decades of experience with The Salvation Army, he uses familiar and surprising statistics as starting points for reflections on God, creation, personal significance, and the spiritual meaning that can be found within ordinary life.
Throughout Numbers Do Count: Finding God in the Diverse Statistics of Everyday Life, Hawley moves between contemporary facts and biblical narratives, demonstrating how numerical details can become gateways to larger questions about faith.
His subjects range widely, encompassing global populations, economic debt, marine life, everyday consumption, and other measurable aspects of human existence.
Biblical references add another dimension, including the account of the 153 fish caught by the disciples.
Rather than treating numbers simply as abstract data, Hawley presents them as opportunities to reflect on the relationship between the measurable world and enduring spiritual questions.
The book’s perspective is informed by Hawley’s long association with The Salvation Army and his Christian worldview.
That background provides a foundation for a journey through what he describes as both the difficult passages and the high points of everyday experience.
In Numbers Do Count: Finding God in the Diverse Statistics of Everyday Life, facts and figures become tools for discussing hope, purpose, and the belief that creation reflects a Master Designer.
For Christian readers, Bible study groups, and anyone intrigued by the connection between statistics and spirituality, the book offers an unconventional approach to devotional reflection.
Hawley emphasizes that even in a world measured through populations, distances, debts, consumption, and other vast quantities, individuals should not view themselves as merely another statistic.
Numbers Do Count: Finding God in the Diverse Statistics of Everyday Life repeatedly returns to the Christian conviction that every person is individually known and valued by God, connecting seemingly impersonal figures with questions of identity, belonging, and relationship.
Michael Hawley brings together numerical curiosity, biblical storytelling, and decades of faith-based experience to encourage readers to look differently at information they may otherwise take for granted.
His approach transforms statistics into prompts for considering creation and the Christian message at the center of the book.
Through Numbers Do Count: Finding God in the Diverse Statistics of Everyday Life, Hawley ultimately directs attention toward what he describes as the most important “number one,” Jesus Christ, inviting readers to recognize spiritual significance amid the enormous figures that characterize modern life.
