Book Review

Book Review: Galileo by Mitch Stokes

April 12, 2011 by ConcertKatie No Comments

Galileo is one of the books in the “Christian Encounters” series published by Thomas Nelson Publishers.  It was written by Mitch Stokes.  The book tells the life of science great, Galileo, but includes many details about his faith as well, and how it guided him.
This book is a great resource and is very detailed.  It would be a great book to use for someone who was doing a report or project on Galileo.  It would also be a great read for any science history buffs who are looking to learn more about Galileo from a bit of a different perspective.  There are not any other books to my knowledge which include so much information about Galileo’s faith.  (Something that the Christian Encounters series is trying to change – by profiling many great historical figures with more details into their Christianity and how God guided them to greatness)
For the average reader, it is a bit detailed and at times was tough to get through. I was familiar with some of Galileo’s works from my math and science classes in college, but this book went above and beyond anything I had learned.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255 <http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/16cfr255_03.html> : “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Charity Week: World Vision

by ConcertKatie No Comments

Through World Vision I sponsor a child, Moses from Sierra Leone.  Moses just turned 6 at the end of last month and I have been sponsoring him since he was 3.  Every year I get a progress report from him and what he wants to be when he grows up always seems to change!  But I can’t blame him, when I was his age I couldn’t decide either.  Every couple of months I send him a care package with small items for him and his friends to share (stickers, colored pencils, silly bands, etc).  World Vision also provides relief to countries who are dealing with the clean up from Natural Disasters (Haiti, Japan) in addition to offering children to sponsors.  They are a really great organization.

Moses. Isn’t he cute?
