This colourful board book provides a fun and beautifully illustrated introduction to the idea of God as creator of you, me and many of other things in the world around us including sand, trees, stars and planets. Whilst it doesn’t give any detail about how God created these things, it provides an initial introduction to the idea of using tools to explore God’s world, from our eyes and ears telescopes and magnifying glasses.

This colourful and tactile board book provides a fun introduction to the idea of God as creator. The pages roughly follow the order outlined in the Genesis 1 creation story but with a focus on the categories used rather than reference to days, timing or process. Each page introduces a new aspect of God’s creation by asking and answering a question: “Who made the Sun? God did. And God made the moon. God made stars that twinkle; God made planets and fiery comets too.” Each page features a different material to ‘touch and feel’: “Feel the rough surface of the comet”.

This book introduces the ideas of appreciating God as creator and exploring His creation. Readers are taken on an adventure to discover more about the ‘amazing things that God has made’. Bible verses referencing the wonder of God’s creation are featured throughout as readers explore, question and use previous knowledge to unravel the mysteries of God’s creation.

This colourful and interactive play book features 7 puzzle pieces which fit into the pages throughout the description of God’s creation. The pages roughly follow the order outlined in the Genesis 1 creation story but focusing on the categories referenced rather than days, timing or process: “God filled the waters with plenty of fish. He made sea creatures that swim and crawl”. Each page introduces a new aspect of God’s creation, gradually building up a picture which includes all 7 puzzle pieces.

This beautiful and colourful book takes a fun and poetic approach to celebrating the natural world as God's creation. The pages roughly follow the order outlined in the Genesis 1 creation story but focus on the categories referenced rather than days, timing or process. With interactive elements on every page, this a lovely way for kids to learn about and begin to explore ideas of God as creator.

This imaginatively presented book promotes the idea of God as creative and creator. The book does not focus specifically on ideas from Genesis but uses different elements of scripture regarding God as creator and no focus or discussion is given to timescales or methods of creation. Scientific exploration of space is presented as a way of exploring God’s creativity and finding out about His universe.

This creatively presented book provides a colourful and interactive introduction to God’s creation and humanity's responsibility for the planet. The pages roughly follow the order outlined in the Genesis 1 creation story but focusing on the categories referenced rather than days, timing or process. The narrative describes the wonder, variety and complexity of God’s creation in a way which is generally compatible with scientific understanding and draws out the idea that humanity has made a mess of the beautiful creation God put around us. This book provides an engaging introduction to God’s creation, our place in it and the challenge of our responsibility to care for it.

This book presents a description of God’s creation through natural, scientific processes. It uses colourful illustrations and ‘lift-the-flap’ paper engineering to bring the ‘conversation’ to life. The story contains some references to creation as described in the Bible through a lens of exploring what science can tell us. The book begins by exploring the creation of the Universe and moves on to explore ‘where do babies come from’ as a great example of how we understand God creating through natural processes. The story even includes introductory discussion of genetics, atoms and the mind. This is a good introduction to a wide range of topics, approaching questions from a perspective of science-faith complementarity.

“How do mothers and fathers—whether they are apple trees, sheep, or humans—pass down traits to their children?” This was Gregor Mendel’s fixation, and through careful experimentation with peas, he developed his theory of heredity.  His work laid the foundation for today’s genetic research, and he is referred to as the “father of modern genetics”. Readers glimpse the curiosity, religious life, and work ethic of an early scientist whose ground-breaking work was only given serious consideration after his death. This is a good book for children and also for parents who want to increase their understanding of how genetic traits are passed from generation to generation.

This imaginative book tells the story of the “rinkidinks”: fictional friends that were “little beasts that wouldn’t come much taller than your knees.” Each was slightly different, and when their species suddenly faced cataclysmic changes to their environment, they were forced to adapt and change in major ways. Evolutionary biologist Dr. Tiffany Taylor has given us an engaging story for children that teaches important mechanisms behind evolutionary change like selection, variation, and speciation—without using the terms themselves. We learn that all living things have undergone a similar process of change and that if we look back far enough, we can find our own family connections from long ago.

Through the work of scientists over the past 150 years or so, we now have lots of evidence that helps us understand the processes of evolution that connect all living things. How did it all come together? This book provides a comprehensive overview from the fields of biology, palaeontology, and geology. You will find chapters on Evidence from the Earth, How Fossils Form, The Adventures and Discoveries of Charles Darwin, Evolution, Variation, Natural Selection, Genetics, and much more including recent discoveries of transitional forms between fish and land animals, dinosaurs and birds, and land mammals and whales. This is probably most useful as a reference book and covers an impressive range of evolutionary science. Children and adults alike will enjoy expanding their understanding of evolutionary processes.

"When a meteorite crashes into Sam's school bike shed, his class have a LOT of questions about space, the universe, and life on earth. But can they believe in God AND the Big Bang? They make some cool discoveries that show them that the answer is a clear yes. A fact-filled and thought-provoking story that will make you chuckle." Written by a top scientist and a well-known children's author this book gives a great introduction to a number of key questions about the interactions of science and faith through the eyes of a curious 'science geek' and his classmates.

Messy Church Does Science offers Messy Churches the tools to use science to explore aspects of the Christian faith; demonstrate that science and faith are complementary; and enable children and adults alike to appreciate the wonder of creation. Ten sessions provide inspiration for the Bible-based activities element of Messy Church. The activities will also provide inspiration for anyone looking to explore science an a faith-friendly way with children and families.

This fabulous flap book demonstrates basic scientific ideas in a simple and engaging way. Each double page shows key ideas from a different branch of science, including astronomy, ecology, chemistry and physics. This book explores how our world works, linking each section to human discoveries, abilities and responsibilities, and provides children with a strong foundation in a range of scientific ideas.

In The Curious Crime, Julia Golding has created a truly wonderful exploration of what it means to be human. From the outset we are invited to consider the realities of life in times gone by in a world that draws on our own history. But the mysterious world of the museum also introduces a fascinating distinction, prompting us to imagine a place where asking certain types of question is praised, while other questions are scorned or even forbidden. Through the enquiring eyes of Ree and Henry we discover how asking all kinds of questions is not only necessary for investigating a crime, but fundamental to being human. The fascinating characters we meet in The Curious Crime show us how all human endeavours, including art, music, poetry, science, engineering, and religion are connected by creativity, imagination, and an insatiable quest for better understanding of the world around us. This extraordinary book encourages us to consider the mysteries of humanity from the bonds of friendship and family to the wonders of our world and the universe of which we are a part. This story will inspire and empower readers to ask questions, explore their world and take their place in the irresistible search for answers handed down from one generation of humans to the next.
