Long long ago in, what sometimes seems like a galaxy far far away, my dad sat down with a Bible and a set of children's devotionals and worked through them with me every day. I would follow along as he read and he would underline each word with his finger. Like several famous historical figures, I learned to read from the Bible. Totally true story. If there's one thing, or rather two things, that I can tell you it's that there is a lot of power in children's devotionals and that there is nothing like taking the time to read to your kids. Both will stay with that child long after they have grown up.
With those things in the back of my mind I read The Wonder Of Creation. Straight through, cover to cover. Not only was I fascinated by all of the science facts, impressed by Louie Giglio's (with Tama Fortner) skill at weaving science and faith principals together so cohesively, and charmed by Nicola Anderson's totally cool illustrations, but I found myself benefiting from all of it even as an adult.
The Wonder Of Creation's layout is easy to read and utilize. Each 'chapter' consists of a Bible verse, science facts (pertaining to space, earth, animals, and people) that are then cleverly drawn into an important faith or life lesson, a prayer that directly relates to the chapter, and a bonus type related scientific fact. Each one is also accompanied by at least one full color illustration and some even have an additional photo. One other big bonus is the way pronunciation guides have been embedded for most of the 'big' words. The book is simple enough for reading age kids to do on their own but it would also be ideal for (grand)parents to read together with their grand(child).
Louie Giglio (with Tama Fortner) and illustrator Nicola Anderson have done an excellent job putting The Wonder Of Creation together. Even as an adult I found myself learning some new things and being inspired by the lessons and prayers. I enjoyed reading the book and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to families...
