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.
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."

book in this bestselling series, Justine is up against her biggest

the love that inspires him to survive.
For ten year-old Jeremiah Prins, the life of privilege as the son
of a school headmaster in the Dutch East Indies comes crashing to a
halt in 1942 after the Japanese Imperialist invasion of the
Southeast Pacific. Jeremiah takes on the responsibility of caring
for his younger siblings when his father and older stepbrothers are

troubled mother.
Amidst starvation, brutality, sacrifice and generosity, Jeremiah
draws on all of his courage and cunning to fill in the gap for his
mother. Life in the camps is made more tolerable as Jeremiah's
boyhood infatuation with his close friend Laura deepens into a
friendship from which they both draw strength.
When the darkest sides of humanity threaten to overwhelm Jeremiah
and Laura, they reach for God's light and grace, shining through
his people. Time and war will test their fortitude and the only
thing that will bring them safely to the other side is the most
enduring bond of all.
