A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God (Case for … Series for Students)
A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God (Case for … Series for Students)

Review:Outstanding book that lays out the scientific case for intelligent design and a God who created the universe. I didn't realize the degree to which scientists had discounted Darwinism because it's unsubstantiated, but of course the liberals in the media and academia hate to admit that. Strobel interviews leading scientists in a variety of disciplines who provide irrefutable evidence that our existence is not an accident or that we are descended from pond scum. Looking forward to reading Strobe... Read more

Review:The book did arrive on time and in good condition. HOWEVER, it is not the book pictured! I am lucky my professor is allowing the book that was shipped to me to be used. It is a blue one and a totally different edition that the one in the picture, the one I thought I was buying. I would not buy from this seller again. Read more

In Defense of a Liberal Education
In Defense of a Liberal Education

Review:A much needed look at the value of generalized education vs. STEM subjects. Fared makes a strong case for the general education to meet the changing needs of societies and individuals as time goes forward. STEM education is a great choice for students who are interested in these subjects, and certainly provides more immediately marketable skills, if that is the goal. These are vital in our technical world. However, many individuals are not interested in a technical subject, A broad education p... Read more

The Read-Aloud Handbook: Seventh Edition
The Read-Aloud Handbook: Seventh Edition

Review:This update makes us aware of new issues that affect reading--"no child left behind", Kindles, computers, iPads, iPhones, etc. and how to maximize a child's pleasure (and yours) in reading aloud. The updated handbook in the second half of the book is a listing of proven good reads organized by age and kind. It is a valuable resource for fun and success in reading to children and watching them learn to read without being taught. Read more

Let There Be Light
Let There Be Light

Review:"Let There be Light" is our latest free review book! It's written by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and is illustrated by Nancy Tillman, who's done lots of best-selling books I haven't actually read. It's a lyrical, colorful portrayal of creation. The text is taken from "The Children of God Storybook Bible" by the archbishop.

This book is well-paced for reading with a two-year-old! The text is brief and simple, and the illustrations are interesting and colorful. My Assistant Reviewer also enjoys... Read more
