I have nearly completed rewriting "Light of the World," sequel to "The Heavens Declare." Through an engaging story, this living book teaches important facts about the nature, behavior, and practical uses of light. Also included is a discussion of color.
A power outage, a grumpy neighbor, a chess set, and the Light of the World... look for this living book about light!
While it is somewhat technical for younger ages, "The Privileged Planet" is a fascinating study of Earth. This DVD covers the life-supporting characteristics of our planet (oxygen, large moon, location, etc.), as well as pointing out "the same factors that make a planet like Earth hospitable to life also provide the best conditions for scientific discovery... a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe." Faced with the evidence, real scientists (such as astrobiologist Guillermo Gonzalez) conclude that these conditions point to an Intelligent Designer.

The peak date of the Leonid Meteor Showers is the night of Nov. 16—early morning of Nov. 17. As Mr. Edwards mentions in the chapter, "A Dividing Line—the Asteroid Belt," it is easiest to see the meteors if you have driven beyond the bright lights of the city. It is suggested that the best time to watch might be a few hours before sunrise on the 17th since the bright moon will have set at that time. Don't miss this chance to spend family time together marveling at the creation of our Lord!
