Men Of Science/Men Of God
One of the most serious fallacies today is the belief that genuine scientists cannot believe the Bible. But the truth is scientists who were dedicated men of God made many of the major scientific contributions. Here's proof that scientists can be believers too! Dr. Morris presents 101 short biographies and Christian testimonies of pioneering scientists who believed the Bible. These include Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Jean DeLuc, John Herschel, Jedidiah Morse, Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, Johann Kepler, Sir Henry Rawlinson, and many more. They made ground-breaking discoveries that changed the course of the history of scientific thought and founded modern scientific disciplines - while believing that Scripture is from God, our personal creator. A must read!
The scientists are grouped according to the period in which they lived:
The Founders of Modern Science
The Age of Newton
Just Before Darwin
Just After Darwin
The Modern Period

One Blood
"Racism is morally, socially, scientifically, and biblically wrong. It is an ugly blot on our society, and One Blood clearly explains why we really are one blood." Zig Zigler
More than half a century has passed since the horrors of the Nazi racial extermination camps were revealed to a disbelieving world. Yet the battle of ethnic hate and violence remains one of the burning issues of our time. Billions of dollars are spent fighting it. Oprah devotes entire programs to it. Presidents consult civic and religious leaders; everyone seems to be wrestling with the problems of racial prejudice, yet solutions evade us.
What does 'race' really mean?
Are there really multiple races of humans?
Where did this concept originate?
The Bible says in Acts 17:26 that God has 'made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.' So, is there really such a thing as 'the white race' or 'the black race'? You will be astounded at the easy-to-understand scientific facts, and how they line up with the often-overlooked simplicity of God’s Word.
Authors are Ken Ham, Don Batten and Carl Wieland |

Free Indeed - BJU Biography
The story of black churches in America is one of faith and heroism. Added to the challenges that normally confront heralds of the gospel, African American Christians faced special problems because of their race--problems such as slavery and discrimination. Yet out of a deep love for Christ and a heavy burden not only for their own people but also for all who were without Christ, these believers steadfastly proclaimed the gospel of salvation through Christ and the equality of all men and women in the sight of God. The Christians described in these pages -- Richard Allen, Lemuel Haynes, John Jasper, Matthew Anderson and others -- were true heroes of the faith. Because they were freed by Jesus Christ, they were "free indeed," and they proclaimed that message of liberty to others. Published by Bob Jones University Press. |

David Livingston - Sower Series
David Livingston was one of the greatest explorers who ever lived. His exciting exploits in Africa tell a story of unsurpassed courage and determination. At age ten he began working in the cotton mill in Blantyre, Scotland, and was told he'd never escape the daily toil. However, he succeeded in gaining admission to college, and studied to be a medical missionary. He attended a lecture by Robert Moffat, who was from Africa, and was determined to go himself to the land where one could see "the smoke of a thousand villages, where no missionary has ever been." He left the comfortable missionary stations and lived with the African people. He learned their language. He treated their sick, helped them build a better life for themselves, and told them about Jesus. He said, "I will open a path into the interior or perish." How he succeeded against all the odds is an exciting story. Read on and let the adventure begin! |

George Washington Carver - Sower Series
George Washington Carver had a speciel prayer which he repeated for all the people he knew as well as for the many strangers the Lord woud bring into his life:
May God ever bless, keep, guide and continue to prosper you in your uplifting work for humanity, be it great or small, is my prayer. And may those whom He has redeemed learn to walk and talk with Him, not only daily and hourly, but momentarily, through the things that He has created.
Born to slave parents, young George was orphaned before he could walk. In his youth he fought poverty and throughout his life he battled prejudice. Yet George Washington Carver emerges as one of history's most remarkable men!
How?
"The Lord has guided me," Carver was heard to say often. "He has shown me the way, just as He will show everyone who turns to Him."
Without my Savior, I am nothing," declared Carver.
With his Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, George Washington Carver was greatly used by God to discover countless numbers of scientific wonders and to lead a life which has inspired millions of Christians everywhere! |

Trailblazer Caught in the Rebel Camp - Frederick Douglas
His Regiment is Heading for a Trap. Can He Escape in Time to Warn Them?
The Civil War has just begun, and the controversy between the North and the South continues to heat up. Everybody seems to be getting into the action—except for Danny Sims. Danny wants nothing more than to fight with the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, Frederick Douglass’s newly formed black regiment. But his young age and a lame foot keep Danny from enlisting. The boy feels good for nothing until Frederick Douglass recommends Danny as the caretaker of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw’s horses. Danny knows the importance of this task, and he’s confident he will do an excellent job.
But when the colonel’s own horse escapes one night, Danny goes after him, only to find himself inside the Confederate soldiers’ fort. In terror, he remembers the 54th’s plans of immediate attack—what if the battle begins while he is inside? When Danny sees that the Confederates are making their own plans for attack, Danny realizes that the Union soldiers are being set up for a trap! Can Danny escape in time to warn his troops?

Hamilton wants only one thing: to make the man pay with his life for his evil crime!
But the John Newton that Hamilton meets is nothing like the horrible person he imagined. Instead of reacting with fear when threatened with death, the little man seems calm and unafraid. Newton even agrees he deserves to die—and claims to be something worse than a slave trader! Astonished, Hamilton stays to listen to the preacher’s story. What could be worse than being a slave trader?

Trailblazer The Forty-Acre Swindle - George Washington Carver - 1898-Alabama
To fourteen-year-old Jesse Turner, being "free" in Alabama in 1898 doesn’t seem much better than slavery. The Turners’ forty-acre farm - given to them by the government following the Civil War - is exhausted from growing cotton, they face overwhelming debt, and trouble from prejudiced neighbors makes life difficult and frightening. It seems the only solution is to sell the land and begin sharecropping. But they find new hope in the teachings of George Washington Carver, a Christian agriculturist who travels the South helping fellow blacks with new farming techniques. Inspired by Carver’s advice to "hang on to land at all costs," Jesse takes a part-time job, and he and his father plant a promising crop of soybeans.
But as the Turners race to meet the deadline for repaying their debts, they run into a host of new problems. And when the levee suspiciously bursts one night and floods their land, can Jesse find a way to save the family farm? |

Freedom Train
Harriet Tubman has to rate as one of the most amazing heroines in history. A slave born in America in about 1820, (I say about as she never really new her birth date). She was always fired with a stronger will than her 'master' and 'mistress' liked. As a very young girl she was taken to the big house but she never got on with the mistress. She ended up whipped and sent back to be a field hand. She was short, but she worked so hard she soon was capable of doing a mans work. However she never wished to bow her head to any one.
When she was quite young she helped another slave escape and in the process was badly injured. Despite leaving her with sudden sleeping spells she escaped and went on to join the freedom train. Her inspirational way, strength and sheer will made her extremely successful at freeing many others - even when they eventually had to take the 'train' all the way to Canada. She even helped her elderly parents escape.
This is as much a story of slavery in America as this outlines the background of what Harriet was doing. Why she suddenly had to take her 'passengers' beyond the Delaware border to Canada. The wranglings of the slave-owning congress who wanted all slaves returned, that Lincoln refused to allow black troops in the civil war at first - and paid them only 2/3rds of what the white troops were earning.
It also talks about Harriet's life after the end of the civl war and her support of her family, friends and freedmen institutions to better her community.
This is a very well written, informative and entertaining book suitable for 8-12 year olds and I would highly recommend it. It is inpirational - about a girl who would not give up hope and when she could acted on it. I really liked the fact that this story is about someone who actually made change. This is not a glamorous heroine, but one who, through dedication and perseverance, really changed the face of America. |

The Drinking Gourd
When Deacon Fuller sends his misbehaving boy, Tommy, home early from church, Tommy accidentally discovers a family of runaway slaves hidden in his barn. Big Jeff and his family have escaped and are fleeing to Canada where they can be free. Tommy learns that his father has hidden them and is part of the Underground Railroad, a group dedicated to helping runaway slaves to freedom.
Tommy helps his father hide Big Jeff, Vinnie, Little Jeff, and baby Pearl in the hay wagon and take them to the river, following the route of the drinking gourd, a constellation in the northern sky pointing the way to freedom. While his father goes for the boat, a slave search party approaches and Tommy must think quickly to save them. He tells the men, who recognize him from church, that he is running away because he is afraid of being punished. The men laugh and ride away without searching the wagon.
Later that evening, when Big Jeff and his family had been sent on their way toward freedom, Tommy and his father discuss obeying the law and the true value of a man. |

Mahalia Jackson - Sower Series
Born to Sing Gospel Music - Mahalia Jackson was a magnificent talent with her spellbinding contralto voice. She was deeply religious with a quest to help the underprivileged and the disadvantaged.
"Blues are the songs of despair," Mahalia often said. "Gospel songs belong to the Lord. Gospel songs are the songs of hope. When you sing gospel you have the feeling there is a cure for what's wrong, but when you are through with the blues you've got nothing to rest on."
Before each performance or recording session, Mahalia would sit quietly alone. In describing this time, she said, "I read selected passages from my Bible in order to gather to myself the inner strength I need." Her favorite Biblical quotation was "Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands" from Psalm 66. Mahalia saw this Psalm as her mission in life.
It was a mission that required a long, hard climb. But it was a mission she accomplished with enthusiasm. During the years of struggle, Mahalia became an internationally known recording artist and church performer.
However, Mahalia never forgot her humble beginnings. Her mother died when she was six and she was reared by a religious aunt who introduced her "to the joy and passion, sweetness and beauty of the Lord's hymns and anthems." Her father did not feel he could raise the six children alone. He preached on Sunday and doubled as a longshoreman and barber on week days. His time was taken with work. His income was low. |

If You Lived When There was Slavery in America
It is hard to imagine that, once, a person in America could be "owned" by another person. But from the time the colonies were settled in the 1600s until the end of the Civil War in 1865, millions of black people were bought and sold like goods. Where did the slaves come from? Where did they live when they were brought to this country? What kind of work did they do? With compassion and respect for the enslaved, this book answers questions children might have about this dismal era in American history. |
