Review: 12-Year-Old Boy Enjoys "The Heavens Declare"
"We really enjoyed this book. It was a good way to learn about astronomy while honoring God and having lots of fun. I learned quite a few things that I did not know such as the earth not having exactly 24 hours each day..."

Why "The Heavens Declare"?
Bringing the solar system within reach... through a story.
Sounds more interesting than reading a textbook, doesn't it? Some topics are best taught using a traditional textbook approach, but others can be taught using a more engaging method. Often called the Charlotte Mason Method (after its main proponent), the use of interesting fiction books to teach a topic can many times effectively replace or supplement textbook information that may be difficult to retain. These works are called 'living' books because they bring the topic of study to life through the use of fiction.
Until now, there seems to have been no engaging living book on our solar system. If you are using the Charlotte Mason Method, need some supplementary reading for a unit on the solar system, or are just looking for interesting and uplifting reading material for your 8 to 12-year-old, consider purchasing "The Heavens Declare." Not sure? Read the "Excerpts" page and the "About" page, and don't forget to enter the drawing for a FREE autographed copy!
