Indoctrination: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity. Edited by Charles Laverdiere. Master Books: Green Forest, AR (2012)
I’m always leery of the book version of a film, especially documentaries and other nonfictional media, mostly because the “novelization” tends to rehash the same ground that I just covered in the movie. But every once in a while, the book proves to be the perfect complement the filmmakers promised. Indoctrination is just such a…
Answers Book 4 Teens (AB4T) – By Bodie Hodge & Tommy Mitchell, with Ken Ham (New Leaf Publishing) 2011
My own drift from traditional Christianity to agnostic began shortly after I transferred from a Bible-affirming Christian school to a public high school. When I questioned evolution and the age of the Earth in my physical science class, the teacher scolded me and told me I only believed in Creationism because that’s what my parents…
Pieces of Light by Julie Cave (Master Books) 2011 (via The Bookwyrm’s Lair)
Pieces of Light is the third book in the Dinah Harris mystery series. I was a bit leery about diving into a fiction series without having read the first two installments. A lot of times an author builds off previous books, which is OK except when their subsequent offerings make little sense on their own….
Begin: a Journey through the Scriptures for Seekers and New Believers, Compiled & Edited by Ken Ham & Bodie Hodge (Master Books) 2011 (via The Bookwyrm’s Lair)
Well-meaning Christians have this tendency to give new believers and seekers those darling little copies of the New Testament (usually with Psalms and Proverbs attached), with the common instruction to start with the gospel of John (for theology's sake) or Mark's gospel (for brevity's sake). This well-meaning custom is something of a relic from an…

How Do We Know the Bible Is True? – Volume 1, Ken Ham & Bodie Hodge, General Editors (Master Books) 2011 (via The Bookwyrm’s Lair)
Ever since the publication of Already Gone (and more recently Already Compromised), Answers in Genesis has been increasingly pumping out general apologetics materials. Why? Why not just stick to creation apologetics? Because the results of the survey upon which Already Gone is based revealed that our children have basic questions about the reliability of the…
Evolution: The Grand Experiment – Volume 2 : ‘Living Fossils’ by Carl Werner [New Leaf Publishing, 2008] (via The Bookwyrm’s Lair)
Having reviewed Carl Werner's Evolution: The Grand Experiment – Volume 1 a few months back, I eagerly awaited the opportunity to crack open Volume 2: Living Fossils.
