Customer Reviews

Wonderful engaging book from a bibilical perspective.

I am a homeschooling mom and purchased this book for my 8 year old, as we have had problems finding factual info without delving into evolutionary theories. This book did a wonderful job of answering questions in a manner that was easy for my son to understand and from a biblical basis. He enjoyed the illustrations, and he read and re-read this book in most of his spare time for the first week after we received it. I love this book and would advise anyone who is studying or is interested in fossils to get this book.

Impressive perspective on Noah's Flood!

This book is perspective-broadening. It is a wonderful presentation harmonizing Noah's Flood with dinosaur fossil evidence. It is written in a way that is easy to consider and comprehend for children 9-12 or for grown ups who are just beginning to study creation from a scientific view point. It truly is a well done introduction. One is left understanding why the evolutionists are dismissing the inaccuracies of uranium testing and why they are overlooking the obvious sediment evidence. For those who want to further research fossil evidence in favor of the flood and creation there is a suggested readings list within this book towards the back. Its only brief weak area is one sentence on page 56. The so-called plesiosaur-like carcass of a basking shark caught by the Japanese fishermen in 1977 looks as if it had been rotting for weeks when you see the actual picture of it. This book is not about present day dinosaur sightings however. It is about post-flood evidence supporting the Christian timeline of our earth. The factual and logical way it is presented is just fabulous!

Excellent Resource Confirming the Flood

This book is very engaging and effective in giving young students an understanding of the world impact of the Biblical Flood. It is well illustrated and provides simple experiments such as to visualize the outcome of post-flood soil layers. I highly recommend it for all Christian parents as a first step in understanding the historical and scientific truths of the Bible.

Good Book!

Me, my mom, my brother and sister read "Dry Bones and Other Fossils" by Dr. Gary Parker. I thought this was a very good book. You should read it because it teaches us about how evolution and creation are completely different. I rate this book five stars.

Awesome Book!!

This book is very good because it is a switch off book. That means that a kid reads and then a dad reads. It tells how God brought the Flood and made the fossils.
