AzOSA News and Events

Consider this book:

“Have You Considered: Evidence Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” is the latest collaboration from Julie Von Vett and Bruce A. Malone. This is an easy read set in a daily devotional style. Daily offerings rotate subjects: biology, paleontology, microbiology, anatomy, design, history, and cosmology. Each entry includes scientific fact, engaging detailed pictures or drawings, and scripture reference. What struck me immediately was that this could be a “stand alone” devotional for the pre-teen reader as well the adult reader. I sent my copy off to my 10 year old grandson; who proclaimed it “way cool”. Sometimes it’s tough to get our children engaged in daily reading. This will definitely hold the interest of all family members.$11.95 and available from Search for the Truth Ministries or Amazon.
