This riveting narrative told from the astronauts' points of view offers a unique approach to the story behind Apollo 11's successful - though nearly disastrous - 1969 moon landing. Readers are brought along on the ride of a lifetime, as they relive every step of the mission, including the nail-biting (and relatively unknown) crucial moments when it came close to failure. And, setting this book apart, each section is linked to the innovations and discoveries from the past four centuries that made each step possible - from Copernicus to the Nazis, the sextant to Velcro.
Set in an experimental community on Mars in the year 2039, The
Robot Wars series features 14-year-old virtual reality specialist
Tyce Sanders. Life on the red planet is not always easy, but it is
definitely exciting. Tyce finds that the mysteries of the planet
point to his greatest discovery-a new relationship with God. He
talks about his growing faith and curiosity in a manner that kids
can relate to as they are probably wondering some of the same
things. Each book contains two exciting adventures. In the first
adventure, the Mars project is in trouble and only Tyce holds the
key. In the second adventure, Tyce has discovered there may be
killer aliens on the loose.
Prepare yourself for questions every parent or friend of a searcher must answer. As bestselling author Sigmund Brouwer began to hear more and more questions about creation from his growing daughters, he realized that the issue could easily turn them away from developing faith in God. Was he going to stand by and let them wrestle alone with widely asserted contradictions between science and Genesis, especially as they got older? Or could he prepare himself to help them understand more clearly the truth in the Bible's foundation? In "Who Made the Moon?," Brouwer engages the reader by combining easily understood science concepts with inspirational stories from a loving father's heart. He says, "I believe it's my responsibility to know enough about both the Bible and science to answer the difficult questions. I want to be able to show my children that truth is indivisible and that faith in the God of Genesis has nothing to fear from science."
