Indescribable: 100 Devotions about God & Science is a wonderful homeschool resource. It is not so much a devotional as it is a book that shares some interesting tidbits of science and then relates how God's indescribable imagination, creativity, and scripture relate to the science. This book is the very first thing that my kids ask for as we begin a school day. They look forward to it. They are excited about it! The use of photo’s, numbers, quotes from astronomers, and scripture is outstanding. This is a very well balanced approach to examining God through His creation. Barry Alfonso, The Billboard Guide to Contemporary Christian Music, Billboard Books, USA, 2002, p. 45 On January 11, 2013, Giglio withdrew from the second Obama inauguration at which he was due to deliver a benediction after it became known in a sermon he delivered in the 1990s he urged Christians to oppose the "aggressive agenda" of the gay rights movement. He described homosexuality as a "sin in the eyes of God, and it is sin in the word of God". [14] If you are interested in astronomy or you’re just looking to have your view of God expanded, this is the book for you. I honestly don’t know how someone could read this book and not end up in utter awe of God.

But it is not only a book that can be used in a family setting. Kids themselves will wonder at the awesome God that created our world as they read through these 100 devotions on their own. An opportunity to establish a habit of daily time with God. It's great to see how Louie not only helps kids learn more about each subject, but then relates each one to the awe and wonder at God's creativity with them all. Farias, Andree. (April 25, 2005) Christianity Today. A Passion for the Christ - Thousands of college students attend Passion worship conferences annually. We talked to the guy behind it all, Louie Giglio, a former campus pastor with a heart on fire for God.Finally, the connection between the science lessons and the religious message on some of the stories seemed like the author was stretching quite a lot. Like #3, he quotes a Bible verse about Leviathan, says it sounds like a dragon. Dragons are really strong and so is God’s armor. Or #36 which details how your eyes are created in the womb and then how God gave you eyes to see His world and read the Bible. I recently read the book Indescribable by Louie Giglio & Matt Redman in preparation for teaching on the bigness of God. The book talks about the glory of God as seen in the beauty of the universe. Initially I was worried it would just be a retelling of the Louie Giglio message (dvd) called How Great is Our God, but it wasn’t at all. Giglio mentions the four stars from his message, but this is all new material. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table: It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind... Thomas Nelson. ISBN 978-0785247227. My boys and I loved the 1st one of these, and they liked this one ok (one son more than the other), but this one kinda grated on me. It seemed far more preachy than the first. “Well it is a devotional” I hear you saying. True, but let me explain. The first one seemed to have neat little science lessons and tied them together with a simple little message about the glory of God. No doctrine, no questionable or controversial topics. This one had a few lessons that seemed a bit more personal, less universal. The 3rd lesson requires a literal reading of the Bible. There was #74 in particular about Satan hunting you (“That’s because a predator is hunting you, and his name is Satan.”) that I just don’t believe in and changed when reading. There were also several about proselytizing which I don’t agree with. What a grand opportunity to lead your child to discover the indescribable wonders of the universe made by our wonderful Creator. And this new devotional book for kids will enable families together to embark on this wonderful journey of discovery.

[17] There also were repetitive lessons about how God made the stars, how there are so many stars, how vast the universe is, how different the universe is, how God hung the stars and also made you (# 10, 12, 19, 21, 28, and more). One of the things I love about this book is the way that Giglio points out the awesome creativity and attention to detail in our Creator - and the devotions are written in such a way that you'll be admiring these as you go throughout your day. After reading the science facts, you'll find yourself appreciating Creation all the more. The content of the lesson reports an interesting science fact and ties it into a relationship with God. Either the relation of God's creation and imagination to the fact or how that fact can lead towards building a greater relationship with Christ,

Another aspect of this book that I love is the way that the science facts support the amazingness of creation. Often people try to turn that around - to say that science tears apart the idea of faith - but that couldn't be less true. The intricateness of the natural world points to a Creator, just as the Bible says, and Indescribable points to that truth. Seriously, my husband and I (we're grandparents and great-grandparents) have enjoyed reading some of these devotionals together and are quite frankly simply amazed at the material. It is so well presented and not too "little-kiddie-themed."
