I love dinosaurs. And I have since I was a kid. One of the hardest things for a lot of people to reconcile with the Bible is just how these creatures fit into a biblical perspective of history. I know this was a major question for me for a long time.
Fortunately, there are several great resources out there now that explain how dinosaurs fit, and one of the best is a new book by Dr. Tim Clarey, called Dinosaurs: Marvels Of God’s Design, published by Master Books.
Clarey’s book is very comprehensive is scope and contains a ton of information about these animals, both from a biblical perspective as well as a geological and archaeological point of view. In this book, he covers numerous topics, including an overview of the beginning of creation and Noah’s Flood, and how this impacted the dinosaurs. He discusses the age of dinosaurs, and examines the evidence in the rock record and fossils. He looks at the extinction of dinosaurs and their end.
But what may be the most impressive part of this book is the detailed look at several varieties of dinosaurs, including the variations of theropods, sauropods, ornithopods, and more. The level of details he gives is extraordinary, and he does it in a way that almost anyone can comprehend. My eleven year old son absolutely loves this book!
From behavior to biology, and with scores of excellent photos and diagrams, Dinosaurs: Marvels Of God’s Design is an excellent resource, whether you have a passing interest in these animals, or are completely fascinated with them. And the research is top notch and cutting edge, offering the most current findings and studies.
While most of the books out there, along with mainstream media, paint these creatures as living millions of years ago, Clarey gives a fresh perspective, backed up by sound science, that offers a comprehensive view from a biblical perspective, resting soundly upon the Word of God.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you love these magnificent creatures, or know someone who does. This book will open your eyes to the truth of God’s Word, especially as it concerns dinosaurs. Grab one for your library today. You’ll be glad you did.
