A stirring tale of medieval Germany in the days of robber barons and deadly feuds. The kidnapping of Otto, his adventures among the rough soldiers, and his daring rescue, make for a spirited and thrilling story. The author says of his tale that it “is of a little boy who lived and suffered in those dark middle ages; of how he saw both the good and the bad of men, and of how, by gentleness and love and not by strife and hatred, he came at last to stand above other men and to be looked up to by all.” Vigorous illustrations by the author add much to the interest of the book. Suitable for ages 11 and up. 160p; 300g.

Some astronomers look at the stars and planets through a telescope. In this unique book, author Danny
Faulkner views them through a biblical perspective. Written for the well-read layman, high school through
adult age, Universe by Design explores and explains the historical development of this science, including
current ideas in the field. From a creationist standpoint, Faulkner also addresses common misconceptions,
difficulties, and critiques about relativity and cosmology. This book would be an excellent
supplement to any home school curriculum. Includes: • Contributions of Ptolemy, Galileo, Brahe,
Newton, Hubble, Einstein, and other famous scientists to the field of cosmology • Many diagrams
and illustrations • Theories and facts on the origin and expansion of the universe • Thorough discussion
of the big bang and the problems with it • Many examples and analogies to help understand
concepts of cosmology. God’s awesome power is reflected in every star and planet in the universe around us!
Challenging questions at the end of every chapter. Grades 7-12. +

This is an excellent reader for all students as they learn about geometry. It has been out-of-print for 34 years. Students and teachers have used photo copies rather than not being able to experience the beautiful illustrations by Corydon Bell and have their own copy to refer to and cherish throughout the years.
Using only three simple tools-the string, the straightedge, and the shadow-men discovered the basic principles and constructions of elementary geometry more than two thousand years ago.
This engrossing book reveals how Read the rest of this entry »

by Jean Henri Fabre $33.00
This sweet book was first published in 1918, and has as much charm today as it did when it was originally published! Join Emile, Jules, and Claire as Uncle Paul introduces them to the world of science in the most gentle manner possible - through storytelling. Uncle Paul is a learned Christian man who is not afraid of hard work, but always has time to tell the children a story. His insatiable curiosity for God’s natural world makes the lessons informative and his passion for his subject makes them interesting. A wonderful, true living book about nature and science from a Christian perspective that all ages will enjoy. A dear compilation of science stories that honour our God while teaching about His creation. A few minutes per day that is well-spent.

In this collection of nature stories, master storyteller Jean Henri- Fabre relies upon his knowledge of nature and animals to tell us all we could ever wish to know about many different birds and animals - chickens, turkey, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, pigeons, jackals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, oxen, pig, horses, donkeys, and much more. As with all of Fabre’s books, this volume is interesting enough to hold the interest of preschoolers, while being detailed enough in its descriptions to teach even high schoolers and adults many new things.

He came to realize that the greatest contributor to his business success was found in life experiences, not textbooks. Mr. Maybury said his business strategy was Read the rest of this entry »
