Our Created Moon Review

Our Created Moon: Earth’s Fascinating Neighbor by Don DeYoung and John Whitcomb About the Book: The newly revised and expanded Our Created Moon is filled with the most current full-color images, facts and figures, and innovative teaching resources. It is loaded with provocative questions about the moon’s history, purpose, record in Scripture, as well as a clear response to critics. My Thoughts: Our Created Moon is an excellent resource to have on hand for the study of the moon. It is filled with beautiful images and tons of information about the moon.
