I am dying: it’s a beautiful word. Like the long slow sigh of a cello: dying. But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it.

From extraordinary novelist Sonya Hartnett comes a gently told fable of a lost soldier, heroic children, and a steadfast donkey.



One morning in the woods of World War I France, two young sisters stumble upon an astonishing find — a soldier, temporarily blinded by war, who has walked away from battle longing to see his gravely ill younger brother. Soon the care of the soldier becomes the girls' preoccupation, but it's not just the secret they share that emboldens them to steal food and other comforting items for the man. They are fascinated by what he holds in his hand — a tiny silver donkey. As the girls and their brother devise a plan for the soldier's safe passage home, he repays them by telling four wondrous tales about the humble donkey — from the legend of Bethlehem to a myth of India, from a story of rescue in war to a tale of family close to the soldier's heart. Sonya Hartnett explores rich new territory in this inspiring tale of kindness, loyalty, and courage..

This powerful resource answers the age old cosmology debate and includes within its pages: • A brief history of scientific cosmology • The big bang model, including origins of stars, planets, and life • The creation model, including the views of Moses and Jesus • Other cosmological models, including future trends • The errors in evolutionary time scales, time indicators, and ages • Appendixes and comprehensive index In modern times, the Bible has become increasingly disconnected from most Christians’ understanding of the real world. Cosmology — the way we think about the universe — has come to be totally dominated by secular beliefs, such as the big bang. Many Christians, including prominent leaders, have therefore felt compelled to “reinterpret” the Bible in the light of big bang thinking. To its credit, the big bang is an interesting and worthwhile scientific theory, and it is the best candidate that materialists have been able to put forward to this point to try to explain the universe without God, but it is demonstrably inadequate, to say the least. Big bang theory cannot explain the origin of the universe or of the significant objects within it (i.e. galaxies, stars, planets, and people). Big bang theory contains no credible or consistent naturalistic cause to explain what we see. Dismantling the Big Bang reveals these scientific and philosophical weaknesses at the core of big-bang thinking and the contradictions to which they lead. Written on a level that laypeople can understand, it comparatively shows the intellectual superiority of the history of the universe given in the Bible as a basis for our thinking about the cosmos. We need to rediscover how to think about the universe in the only way that makes sense — from God’s perspective, in the light of the history given in His Word..
