Creation's Story provides in a more permanent form and for a wider
audience articles that appeared in the Believer's Magazine during
2007 and 2008. The articles created a good deal of interest for
several reasons, not least the author's clear uncomplicated
presentation of truth in areas where so often a lay person is left
bewildered. As the Foreword to Creation's Story comments: "It is
caluable to have... put in simple - not simplistic - terms" the
technical and scientific arguments involved in debates about the
universe and about life. The 142-page paperback is divided into
four parts. The first provided an interesting overview of Creation
from its beginning to the time when the Creation we know will be
folded up as a garment (Heb 1.12) and God ushers in a new heaven
and a new earth (Rev 21.1). It also deals with the world as we know
it now - " a groaning creation." The five chapters of Part 2 deal
with the Genesis account of creation which the Spirit of God has
been pleased to place in the Scriptures. Part 3 takes account of
"unique and amazing things" that faith can grasp. Part 2, which
offers some conclusions, underscores again the work of the great
Designer and distinguishes between the place of Scripture and
science in the believer's life. The scope of Creation's Story is
wide-ranging: so too is its appeal. The author deals with several
aspects of creation and provides food for thought to all ages. The
reviewer particularly values the reminder of the unique liquid that
water is. Rightly the author stresses that revelation comes from
God and for that we turn to the Scriptures, but he does encourage
us to wonder at the Creation that declares God's "eternal power and
Godhead" (Rom 1.20) As militant atheism grows bolder, Creation's
Story needs to be told. TW
