Book Review – By Michelle Liga
Discovery of Design
by Donald DeYoung & Derrick Hobbs
ISBN- 13: 978-0-89051-574-7
10: 0-89051-574-3
233 pages, Published by Master Books a Division of New Leaf
Press
Discovery of Design is a book that is an easy read, yet very
informative. Packed in-between these 233
pages are a wealth of information just waiting to be accessed. The eight fact filled chapters are set up
basically by the division of animal, i.e. Microorganisms, flight, insects,
etc. The basic overall topic of the book
is how man has used nature to develop products for the betterment of
mankind. From Velcro to Surveillance vehicles,
it is covered in this fun and informative book.
Each topic within a chapter is only two pages long, which would make
this book a good choice for a different type of devotional. At the end of each topic is a set of
questions, these questions are great for the student in your life. At the end of the book you can find the answers
to the questions asked under each topic.
Being a teacher myself, I feel that this resource would be
wonderful to use in a home school environment.
And for the public school student, this would give them something to
counteract the suffocation of anything that has to do with God and give them
the tools needed to defend their faith in a challenging and increasingly anti
Christian world.
Book Review - by Peter Liga
Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
The Discovery of Design is a book that looks at nature from
the microscopic to the stars in the heavens. This book shows how many useful
and innovative products have been modeled after the wonders of creation. In these
pages, you will see the elements of design in nature, and how on a limited scale,
we have been able to utilize these in modern technology.
To those who scoff that there is no God, please read this
book with an open mind and you will see how the wonders of creation were careful
crafted by a designer and could not have come about by random chance. As
further proof, you can look at the vast storehouse of knowledge and ideas that
are imparted throughout creation, just waiting for man to discover.
In the pages of this book, you will see a design in nature
and the corresponding scientific innovation or a useful product it has inspired.
These products can range from the mundane to the exotic. It makes for enjoyable
reading. See first hand how a certain plant or animal can do the fascinating
things it does and how we are able to utilize this in consumer products.
