Devotionals don't need to be boring or superficial or cheesy, and this one proves that.

I have not read the other books by this author, but I'm definitely going to be checking them out now. This devotional takes the wonders of the world and creation (true facts), highlights little known as well as more known ones, and shows how wondrous creation truly is. Each devotion starts with a very short verse before the science end of something is discussed. Then, in the last paragraph, all of it is show more tied together and ends with a short, related prayer. As an extra bonus, another interesting tidbit of science is added in a colorful side-box. There's a Table of Contents in the beginning to make things easy to find and an index at the end for those searching for something specific. Add the interesting foreword, which not gives the author a chance to explain why he does these devotionals, but it also shows which devotions fall into one of four science themes, and encourages readers to visit their favorites.

This is such a well-done read that I've decided to lay down our usual devotional (although we're only halfway through) and use this one instead. My kids, although older, do love science and find this one more interesting than the more 'personal/emotional' one I'd picked up this summer. These devotions are about two pages, but they are interesting and my kids, who usually love quick ones, have no problem listening to these. The author doesn't talk down to the reader but helps waken curiosity about creation and how amazing it is.

There are illustrations as well as photos to lighten the mood and give readers an impression of what some things truly look like. The information is laid out in an understandable manner and, more than a few, were new facts to us. The Bible verse doesn't necessarily fit 100% in all ways, but the author makes sure there is a related topic in some way or another. So, everything does tie together well enough. The devotion part doesn't come across as preachy and is also easy to connect with and understand.

As said, we've switched over to this one and are enjoying it quite a bit. show less

I read this book via ebook and truly enjoyed the simplicity, yet complexity of it. The book itself was very short, but the concepts that were dicussed were given as much detail as needed without a lot of fluff, which is awesome. I did not really like how there were no references throughout the book for when Bible verse were mentioned, but then I saw the back of the book had that and changed my mind. This is a really good book overall talking about worship and the many different aspecta of it.

This book is oversized in not only appearance but also in content! Indescribable Atlas Adventures is a beautiful hardback book that's filled with colorful maps, fun illustrations, intriguing facts, and a wealth of trivia about the countries and cultures that make up our world. It is a wonderful introduction to geography, but author Lou Giglio doesn't stop there. He reminds all of us that faith and science should never be considered two separate things because each country or region in our show more world is "remarkable and one-of-a-kind" because of God's handiwork. Seven continents, the oceans surrounding them, and all of the inhabitants are unique through God's creation!

This book targets children ages 5-10 but I was also intrigued with some of the facts and trivia that are shared. Indescribable Atlas Adventures is a wonderful addition to home libraries and a valuable resource for parents who are homeschooling their children. It is also perfect for gift-giving!

It's hard to find any reason to dislike this book! It's a sturdy board book that's perfect for little hands, but my seven year old granddaughter loves it because of the interaction with the spinning wheel and pull tabs. She's now reading on her own but she still thinks that Indescribable is "cool" and the fact that it explains science along with God's Creation makes it a great learning tool!

Author Louie Giglio has an unique way of relating to children and illustrator Nicola Anderson shares show more bright, colorful pictures to enhance this story that begins with the formation of the universe, and continues until God created humans. Indescribable for Little Ones is a wonderful resource that gives parents and children the perfect opportunity to read together, and talk about, God's marvelous Creation!
