The Real Story of the Creation

Author: Paul L. Maier

In the tradition of The Very First Christmas and The Very First Easter, this children's picture book tells the story of God's creation of the world, the fall of man, and God's promise of salvation.

In eloquent and authoritative language accompanied by realistic paintings, this book describes what we know about the creation of the world as revealed in Scripture. Young readers will learn that God created the world and everything in it. He created us in His image and gave us stewardship over the earth. As the book unfolds, readers will learn about the fall into sin and the implications, and how God planned to reconcile us to Him through the promised Savior.

This book clearly states that God created the world in six days. It, therefore, implies that the scientific theories of evolution and the big bang are flawed and incomplete. And it introduces the reader to the thread of Messianic prophecy that weaves throughout the Old Testament. It is an important tool for dispelling myths and for teaching about the all-powerful nature of God and about our place in His world. More importantly, it will help young readers recognize the hopelessness of our sinful human condition and our abject need for a Savior from sin.
