Tenaj Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My 11yods is going through this in conjunction with HOD's Creation to Christ. It's been a hard go for him but we are finally getting down to a rhythm with it. For the most part, I've enjoyed it but there have been a couple of places that have made me go "huh?". There's a chapter about Adam making sacrifices under the Cherubims that I thought was a real stretch of imagination but we read it and went on. We believe in young-earth creation so most of it was right in line with our beliefs. I think some of the correlations she makes between Chinese writing and the Bible were the hardest for me to take at face value but maybe that's because it was a totally new concept for me. My 15yods had read it last year and found it completely fascinating as many of her points were totally new to him and as an older student he was able to process the information much better than my 11yods this year.

Mommyfaithe Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We enjoyed the book. It was beautiful to look at....and we really loved the timeline project. Beechick's theology is a bit....ummmm....different ....than mine, but I am not offended or put off by other theologies. We had some really cool discussions over this book.

Chris in VA Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I didn't like it, but YMMV. I found it too much of a stretch theologically and biblically, but I do appreciate many of her other writings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I bought this just recently .. nervously .. based upon recommendation. I love Beechick .. when she's writing about the 3Rs. I haven't had a chance to really examine it yet. It's pretty to look at .. for what that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoryChick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I, personally, liked the book, but it is definitely not something I would just hand over to my child to read without having gone through it first and without discussion. As other posters have said, there is some theology that made me go "hmmm". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer2911mom Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks, everyone! It sounds like several of you have had some "huh?" moments with it. That does give me pause. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
