Customer Reviews
What a fascinating study, one I wish I had done in my high school years! Learning about the complexity of each detail in the human body, I find myself marveling and echoing the words of Psalm 139:14, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
Written from a decidedly Biblical worldview, the author frequently points us to our all-wise Creator and Designer - and shows how evolution cannot account for the complex systems in our bodies. The text is well-written, engaging, detailed but understandable, and complemented by excellent illustrations and diagrams. Worksheets include activities such as defining words, fill-in-the-blanks, and completing charts which will help the students interact with the text to retain the information. Like other reviewers have mentioned, vaccines are presented with no hint of controversy regarding safety or effectiveness, so plan to discuss your viewpoint with your students if you differ in your opinion.
The biblical worldview really shines in the reproductive section. I appreciate how they teach the scientific terms for developing babies, but are clear that they are babies, created in God’s image, from the moment of conception. Genetic problems that lead to miscarriage or health challenges are related as a sad reality in our sin-cursed world. While I know this is going to be an excellent high school study, I am brushing up on it myself so I am better able to explain what takes place during puberty to my elementary-aged children... and am awed all over again at the miracle of human life!
I have some concerns about the section discussing vaccines. General information about mRNA vaccines could have been included without making implications about the efficacy of a vaccine that is still being researched.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and believe it is a great resource.
I received a digital copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
