Nature Never Stops Talking

Samuel J. Alibrando

Tsaba House Publishing

What you will find in this book…

This book is a collection of articles written by Samuel Alibrando over a period of years for a newspaper.  He is a creationist and shares, in small chunks, evidence for a Creator.  He shares, from the world of science, things that give evidence that God created our world and that it did not just happen by chance.  Over time, Alibrando has developed his 11 Laws of Nature.  Alibrando states that these laws are activities that have been observed to occur 100% of the time with unvarying uniformity under the same conditions.  He shares an un-provable notion with a sensible fact and then a technical law that is formed based on the results of research.  He has also developed 7 Rules which he defines as a prescription which serves as a guide, generally observed in the interest of order.

What did I think?

I truly enjoyed this book.  As a homeschooling mom I immediately saw the benefit that such a book could have in our home.  It is the kind of book that could spark many excellent conversations in your home.  It is also a book that could be used in the daily teaching of your children.  Our plan for this book is to continue to use this book several times a week to explore science topics in our home.  We are using it to start us on the path to exploring different avenues of scientific conversation and adventure.  Each vignette is wonderfully adaptable to a variety of age levels and my 5 year old and 8 year old have been enjoying them as much as my 12 year old and myself. 

Alibrando has done his research and provided such a valuable resource for homeschooling families but it is not just for the homeschooler.  The book would also be an excellent resource for science minded young people that want to explore Creation Science thought.  It is also a wonderful resource for any home and could be used as a weekly family night discussion starter to bring the family together for intellectual endeavors.  As a Charlotte Mason advocate this book will be with us as we explore nature and the world around us.  It is very practical and valuable for teaching, exploration, discovery, and discussion for ALL members of our family and we plan on using it for years to come. 

My favorite thing about this book is that it is Christian in nature.  It is about a God that created an intricate design and world for us.  It is a book that teaches just what I want my children to learn and gives such a beautiful picture of the world around us.  I could not help but stop and smell the flowers more deeply and notice the world around me in a greater appreciation after reading this book.  This is a delightfully magnificent resource for ANY home.  I highly recommend this book!
