Purposeful Design: Understanding The Creation {Crew Review}

November 13, 2014 by Dana

Purposeful Design: Understanding The Creation is now one of my favorite books.  This book is gorgeously designed and packed full of wonderful information showing God’s Glory in His Design of Creation.  Jay Schabacker of Purposeful Design has created a wonderful experience for others to share within the pages of this wonderful book.
The book is hardback and the cover itself begins expressing the beauty that is held within these pages.  God’s hand holding our beautiful planet among the stars of the galaxy is showcased on the front cover of this gorgeous designed book.  The cover definitely draws the reader to find what lies inside the pages of Purposeful Design.
The pages are crisp and clean in design.  They are semi-glossy so they showcase the information better as you are reading through.  This really makes the gorgeous pictures within the book’s pages stand out.
The book itself is approximately 94 pages in length.  It is comprised of 7 chapters discussing various aspects of God’s intent in designing our world.  Chapter 1 begins with the First Day while Chapter 7 ends with the Seventh Day of Creation.
As you’ve probably guessed, this book is extremely Christian oriented.  It’s a Science and Fact book, as well as a Christian one.  It would be perfect for any household who’s lessons are centered around Biblical studies.
The font used within the book is large enough that even struggling readers can see it to better understand the meaning of the lessons and the wonderful information shared.  This also makes the pages feel less jumbled.  Great, too, for those who may not see as well, like Grandma who often reads to our children in my household.
We learned so much reading through Purposeful Design together.  We learned that we always see the same side of the moon because it does not rotate on an Axis.  We learned why an Apple a Day keeps the doctor away.  We learned about tides and we learned about turtles among many more things.  Each page was filled with some different and new info, some that we knew and others that we did not.
The kids truly enjoyed this book as much as I did.   They loved the photos and the information they learned from reading through each page.  They have shared this information with everyone they know and have enjoyed sharing the knowledge they’ve discovered through our use of this book.
A bonus to go along with the book is that on the Purposeful Design website you can find curriculum to go along with the book.  This is a PDF download of a short workbook that you can use to ensure your students are really learning what they are reading through the text of the book.  My kids and I enjoyed this review of the information contained within the book’s pages.
The workbook contains pages for each chapter of the textbook.  There are questions, fun activities and expansion ideas that can be used to build upon the lessons within the text.  This is a great bonus to use to learn with Purposeful Design.
You can purchase your own copy of the gorgeous book, Purposeful Design: Understanding The Creation by Jay Schabacker from Purposeful Design for $18.95 each.  It is recommended for all ages. This book is well worth the cost and has been greatly enjoyable to us.  We know you will love it as well!

Keeping House with the Lord {January 1, 2010}

January 2, 2010 by Dana

Today is the first day of the year 2010.  It has been a fairly good day overall.  I was able to sleep in thanks to my hunny.  I ate dinner with family, right down to the collards and black-eyed peas.  I thank Ms. Virginia for her wonderful meal.

I have also started on my resolutions. 

  • I have posted daily photo for my 365 days in Photos project. 
  • I have re-organized my photos on the laptop from last year.
  • I have read my inspirational article for the day.

My inspirational article is from the Heart of the Matter online.   Making Your Home a Haven was written by Jennifer Sikora, a loving, homeschooling mother of two.  This article talks about housekeeping with the Lord’s help, by showing God’s love in each of your rooms, praying over the rooms and allowing the Lord to direct and live in them, as well as in you.

Housekeeping is a task I desperately dread.  I am organizationally challenged.  I am a procrastinator (there I admit it!).  I would rather do anything, except clean and organize my house.  I understand this is an inherited trait in my family but it is a trait that I am attempting to overcome.

Making Your Home a Haven has helped me to see that I should not be cleaning house for myself, or for my family but for the Lord.  I should be allowing him to beautify my home and my life.  These are the things I should be choosing to do for myself and my family to better their lives and home.  God should shine throughout my life, not just in me but also in my home.

It is my goal, that by the end of 2010, my home will reflect my love for God and his immense LOVE for me and my family.  I look forward to completing this goal and enjoying my time doing it.

1st Corinthians 10:31–Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
