<p><strong><em>Not Ashamed of the Gospel</em> tells the story of Matti Leisola, a highly successful and award-winning Finnish scientist whose faith in Christ remained courageous and heartfelt across a long career in universities, laboratories, and industry. He is a former dean of Chemistry and Material Sciences at Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) and has served as research director for an international biotech company. He co-founded the International Society of Rare Sugars and was the founding editor of <em>BIO-Complexity</em>.

But where does Matti draw the courage to challenge prevailing secular views? This book traces his personal and professional journey, showing how the faith of Matti and his wife Marja have helped to strengthen, challenge, and love countless people. Warm, candid, and inspiring, this book celebrates two lives spent unashamed of the Gospel.
