I love to read, really I do. But it seems like I never get time. My friends at work are always reading new books and I really want to join in the discussions. I usually read two books per year, one on the drive to the beach and one on the drive back to the beach. I read a great book a month or so ago by Khalid Hosseini, very good read, the story is about women in Afghanistan. So now I'm starting Twilight. Everybody I know has read these books and talks about them constantly. I also ordered a new book (new to me) today "How could a loving God" by Ken Ham. I'm very excited to read this. I'm a huge admirer of Ham and love "Answers in Genesis". He is a great Christian man and scientist. He has many childrens books that approach science from a biblical standpoint. A friend of mine has a little boy that recently has shown an interest in dinosaurs, she expressed to me her mixed emotions about the books she had checked out at the library. So our quest to give him bible based scientific informaiton led us to http://answersingenesis.org/ . I was somewhat familiar with Ham, as I've read many articles, excerpts that he has written. So I thought I'd try a book on for size.
I stand strong on my views about evolution, creation and many other scientific beliefs and it's good to find authoritive resources that will back up your beliefs. As parents it's our responsibilty to ensure that our children follow the proper path. That path can often be misguided by many things, so it's important to create as little distraction as possible. Don't misunderstand were I'm coming from. I'm not closeminded, and have read many things on evolution, Darwinism, etc. I find science and it's many theories more than intersting. I love that Darwin was inspired by the Galapagos, I too am inspired by them, inspired to believe that God created a world of wonder, and provision. That is the second place on this planet I want to see in my lifetime, the first being Africa.
Back to the topic at hand, if anyone has book suggestions, please by all means, I'm open. Suggest.
