Marvels Of Creation Series

Description

Do you ever get tired of reading interesting books, but having to weed out all the praise of the "evolutionary process" and how it is responsible for God's wonderful creations? Well, that won't be a worry here! Written by Christian authors Buddy and Kay Davis, these books offer wonderful photographs and tons of information on some of the world's most awe-inspiring creatures. Not just full of informational facts, the book is also quick to point out all of the unique and useful points of each animal and show how creation cannot possibly conform to an evolutionary mindset. The introduction puts readers who believe in Creation at ease as the authors point out how God's hand is all over in creation, use Bible verses, and point out several areas in which evolution is full of flaws. Then thirty cool creatures are discussed - each receiving a two-page spread for a beautiful photograph and a page of fascinating information and some quick facts. A glossary in the back gives definitions for some of the more difficult words. This is one book you can read to your kids (or have them read on their own at a slightly older level), in conjunction with a science course or just for fun, without having to think about omitting information! Each book is hc, approximately 80 pgs. ~ Megan
