It Couldn’t Just Happen: Knowing the Truth About God’s Creation by Lawrence O. Richards is a 234 page book that argues theories such as evolution and The Big Bang theory using biblical principles and information. It uses fun activities and fascination insights into God’s marvelous works from asteroids, dinosaurs, and fossils, to genetic codes. It presents compelling evidence that God created the universe and all living things. This book has some amazing pictures and a lot of really good information. The book touches on 5 main topics; Earth in Our Universe, How Life Began, Evidence from Living Things, Humanity in God’s Nature and The Book That Didn’t Just Happen (a.k.a. The Bible). Each part of the book has 3-5 chapters and gives “discussion questions” or activities after each chapter. I like that this book encourages you to take time to look things up and to study different things on your own. I also like that it includes several bible verses. There is a nice mix of science and biblical information, which many people are reluctant to discuss together.
I was very excited to receive this book and thought it was a refreshing read. It would be a great tool for school age children who are exposed daily to the theory of evolution, as well as a homeschool curriculum. My only “negative” comment would be that this book reads like a text book. At times, the words were a little large and I felt more like I was studying for an exam than reading for pleasure. I don’t think that this is a book that I would read again or that a child would just sit and read for fun, but it would be a wonderful reference guide for anyone to have around.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
