Purposeful Design: Understanding the Creation is a highly visual science reading book. The author Jay Schabacker wrote a clearly young earth, creation as written in the Bible stance. We read it aloud for this review as our science up to 3 times a week, until finished. Illustrated beautifully written simply with solid Biblical and science evidence to uphold his writing Mr Schabacker has written a book you keep on the couch table all through the holidays, just in case.
Jay Schabacker gives you plenty of scripture to back up his science and the discussion of creation. He is careful to without argument and contention make this a welcoming journey of learning and discovery of science and creation. You can use the scripture for weekly memorization or to reaffirm the Bible’s account of scripture.
You can use this for your home or even Sunday school. There is a downloadable workbook and teacher’s guide. As always when using material like this for more than your family you should drop an email to the company and double-check you can use it as a Sunday school or whether or not you need to buy a classroom set. It’s polite and legal that way.
Purposeful Design: Understanding Creation is an interesting mix of a devotional book and science living science book. The paper and construction of the book is nice a heavy ready to stand up to time and less delicate page turners. The print is large and easy to read. Graphically very intriguing and able to keep the attention of wiggly kiddos longer.
This is a large age range book. There are higher level science concepts like the laws of thermodynamics to DNA and the complexity of the cell. On the other hand we are talking about stars, moon, sun, animals all the things that kids down to pre-school and under love to talk about and learn. The bible scripture, more apparent in the workbook, will help you make this a fun learning devotional for your whole family if you choose.
My family sat and loved to learn the little tidbits of science that they didn’t know like the second law of thermodynamics. Some days needed to be cut into small sections which was easy with this book since it was designed to focus on one aspect of that day or creation then move on to another smoothly but with a section break. This is an enrichment book that I love to feel my home with! Purposeful Design: Understanding Creation is the type of book that causes conversation and debate that last long after you have closed the book.
