As a star chemist at Rice University and one of the ten most-cited chemists in the world for his research and observations, Dr. Tour is not your average scientist in a university setting. Though Dr. Tour is clearly passionate about chemistry, he is also passionate about Jesus. In a world that increasingly associates scientists with atheism or agnosticism, Dr. Tour derives his inspiration from a deep faith and knowledge of God's Word. He wakes up each morning at 3:30 AM, he says, to spend his first two hours with his Bible. “I read the Bible from Genesis Chapter 1 to Revelation Chapter 22, and when I'm done I start again,” Tour said. “I've been doing this for over 30 years. There is this amazing richness. I take a passage and I say, ‘Lord speak to me.' And then it just comes alive.”
