Sweeping Glass

By Eric C. Barrett

The title of this book is Sweeping Glass, and reflects a skill passed onto me by my mother.

This collection contains poems that I created over a span of more than 50 years. They appear in alphabetical order just to keep them corralled in some kind of logical order. A few have dates, which refer to when actual events occurred - not when a poem was written. All were composed whenever I had the chance. They are raw, uneven in quality, and frank. If you know me, nothing will surprise you.

This book is dedicated to my mother, Betty Mullins Jones, who bought me my first harmonica and taught me to drive a stick shift. I loved her more than she ever suspected

Debunking the Myths about Scientists

As a science teacher, this is one of my favorite books to give to those who believe that 1)all scientists hate God and are therefore bad or 2)any good scientist would never believe in such garbage as the Bible. This book is filled with the personal accounts of scientists who are tops in their fields but who also believe in God and in the Bible. This is a fascinating read. Since each scientist is shown with his or her own chapter, it is an easy read. Highly recommended.

Forgotten truth wisdom began with scripture

The truth about US universities is they were often seminaries, first. Brilliant minds emerged from the likes of Haravard, Yale, William and Mary, Notre Dame, etc. Most scientists, Robert Boyle, Michael Farraday, the Wright brothers, Leonardo DaVinci, etc. were Christians and sought their knowledge from the wisdom of God. The "Scientists Who Believe: 21 Tell Their Own Stories" carry the historical mandate to show God's glory in the scientific world He made. These 21 scientific Christians explain how true science always proves the God's mastery in Creation. Their scientific discoveries brought them to a stronger faith and desire to extoll His glory through their continued work. This is excellent reading for youth from age 10 through college. Scientific method is logically employed, as well as explanations of trials in the process.
