 Two Grand Canyon books from a Biblical perspective

Your Guide to the Grand Canyon

 

Your Guide to the Grand Canyon, first in the True North Series on National Parks, is the result of the frequent requests we have had over the years for material presenting a creationist perspective for those who visit the Canyon along the rims.  

 

Tom Vail teams with co-authors Mike Oard, John Hergenrather, and Dennis Bokovoy to present a one-of-a-kind guidebook to the Grand Canyon, which explains the Canyon from a creationist perspective while also presenting well-established information on Canyon formations, climate, fossils, history, and ecology. 

 

The book features a three-page foldout (see sample) with panoramic photos for each of the major overlooks along both the South and North Rims.  A copy of the book, autographed by Tom Vail, may be ordered from our online store.

 

Answers in Genesis' Director of Research, Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, says "...it is a must-have companion to everyone's Grand Canyon Visit."

 

 

 

 

Grand Canyon, a Different View

 

Come and view the Grand Canyon with 23 creation scientists and theologians from around the world.  This 10” X 8”, 104 page hardcover book is filled with informative essays and stunning photos (sample page).  Grand Canyon, a Different View will take your breath away, stimulate your imagination and presents the facts about the Grand Canyon from a Biblical perspective.  Though educational enough for a home school book, it is equally beautiful as a gift or coffee table book.  An autographed copy of the book may be ordered from our online store. 

The book is carried in the bookstores within Grand Canyon National Park and came under considerable fire from the evolutionary camp.  Shortly after its release, the presidents of 7 major scientific organizations jointly signed a letter to the National Park requesting the book be removed from the bookstores because "it advances a narrow religious view about the Earth."  The story hit the Associated Press wire shortly after that and exploded from there.  Over the next year, it was in most of the major newspapers across the country and on at least 3 other continents, as well as several television and dozens of radio programs.  Here are some of the items that are a result of the controversy.
