<p>It&#8217;s a bold title:<a href="http://www.nlpg.com"> The Ultimate Proof of Creation</a>. But is there such a thing? Many books contain seemingly powerful arguments for biblical creation. But is there an ultimate “proof of creation”? There is an argument for creation that is powerful, conclusive, and has no true rebuttal. As such, it is an irrefutable argument—an &#8220;ultimate proof&#8221; of the Christian-worldview, biblical creation. Master the method outlined in the following chapters, and you will be able to defend Christianity against all opposition.</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn how to apply the ultimate proof in dialogues with evolutionists, how to spot logical fallacies, and how to utilize biblical examples in defending the faith.</li>
<li>Discover the nature of scientific evidence and its proper role in the origins debate</li>
<li>Details how to address theistic evolution, &#8220;day age&#8221; creationism, and other compromised positions of biblical creationism</li>
<li>An exceptional book for pastors, ministry leaders, seminary attendees, and students of religion and philosophy</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.heav.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Discerning-Truth-W-Shadow.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2673" title="Discerning-Truth-W-Shadow" src="http://blog.heav.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Discerning-Truth-W-Shadow-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>Every day, Christians are faced with an increasing onslaught of criticism from evolutionists for their belief in God and His glorious creation. What do you say when your faith is challenged by those claiming to speak in the name of science or reason? Discerning Truth provides a practical and engaging resource on the use of logic in this critical debate. Filled with anecdotes from both creative examples and real-life illustrations that help clarify logical issues in apologetics, it will help any believer refute evolutionary perspectives. Become skilled at distinguishing sound arguments from emotionally charged rhetoric!<br />
Lisle believes that creationists need to be able to recognize and refute evolutionist arguments, and to do so in a way that both honors God and lines up with the truth of His Word (Eph. 5:1). The role of logic, the study of correct reasoning, is becoming a vanishing skill in our society. Yet it is a vital tool in assisting Christians in assessing the weaknesses in evolutionary thought. Here is the clear and concise guide for every believer in defending your faith in the face of adversity!</p>

<ul>
<li>explains the scale and size of the universe, which is hard for our minds to imagine—yet can only indicate the Master&#8217;s hand at work</li>
<li>contains more than 50 full-color, rarely seen photos of stars, nebulas, and galaxies</li>
<li>is filled with facts that challenge secular theories and models of the universe—how it began and how it continues to amaze the scientific community</li>
<li>explores numerous evidences that point to a young universe: magnetic poles of planets, the spiral shape of galaxies, comets (and how long scientists think they can last), and much more!</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;This book is meant to be an introduction only—a starting point to a biblical view of the universe. . . . Who knows what amazing truths are waiting to be discovered if only the shackles of secular thinking are removed. Now is the time of discovery. . . .&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.christianperspective.net">Revealing Arithmetic: Math Concepts from a Biblical Worldview </a>Do you want to present math from a biblical perspective, but need ideas and a framework from which to start? Are you looking for fresh inspiration for your math class? In Revealing Arithmetic, you&#8217;ll get ideas and inspiration to help you</p>
<ul>
<li>Reinforce a biblical worldview and worship the Lord in math.</li>
<li>Teach your children to really understand concepts and think mathematically as opposed to merely memorizing mechanics.</li>
<li>Transform everyday activities and objects into math lessons, teaching your child to use math as a real-life tool.</li>
<li>Make and use an abacus in your teaching, as well as explore other historical methods and symbols that help children really view math as a tool and better understand our modern method.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;This in depth book shows us how to teach math biblically from the tot learning to count through exponents and roots. It challenges us (and teaches us) to move from biblical thinking to practical use of math, rather than completing a number of pages and memorizing formulae. There are a few worksheets and extensive appendices giving history and understanding of various math methods, how to make and use various styles of abacuses and more. For Christians, I believe this book is a &#8216;must read&#8217; to complement any math curriculum.&#8221; &#8211; Joyce Herzog, Choosing &amp; Using Curriculum.</p>
