Wonders of Creation
Title: Wonders of Creation Series
Author: Multiple Authors
All Ages
The Wonders of Creations Series was published with Christians schools in mind. In fact, I actually ordered my set from Christian Light. This set is made to appeal to all ages with its colorful illustrations as well as more in dept research. I will make a slight disclaimer about this review. I just scanned these books and didn’t read them word for word. (They are long and came from Christian Light Publications…:))
The Archaeology Book by David Down
Okay, this book was fascinating! Archaeology is quite unique and interesting. I really appreciate all the Biblical references in this book. Basically, it takes many of the current dig sites and links them to the Bible stories that match that time period. For example, it talks about the ancient city of Petra. It starts with highlighting how Esau’s descendants started the city. Then it talks about how some people think that Aaron is buried in the city of Petra and using geography to explain why that’s probably a false assumption. This book would be a fun parallel book to use in Bible Class. Somehow, these facts and picture about ancient cities bring them to life.
The Cave Book by Emil Silvestru
Stalactites hold tight to the top and stalagmite might be at the bottom. Many of us have heard that rhyme and it helps us ace our Science test, but that may be where we stop when we think about caves. This book helps us discover caves in a new way. It talks about how early man or cavemen used caves and how caves have played a part in the existence of man. This book also talks about the geological process that creates caves. This book does focus more on the existence of man rather than the geological process.
The New Astronomy Book by Danny R. Faulkner
The sky is a vast space whether you are viewing it during the day or during the night. This book highlights the vast space from our eight planets to galaxy to other stars in the vast universe. Again this book showcase the knowledge of the science of astronomy while using a Creationist worldview.
