From the predator Mosasaurus, called the ocean equivalent of T. rex, to the gigantic Archelon, the beasts who glided through the planet's oceans no doubt were the inspiration for ancient sightings by mariners who described fantastic encounters on the open ocean. Wieland's riveting text and easy descriptions are complemented by the beautiful full-color illustrations by acclaimed artist Darrell Wiskur. Readers will be amazed at these complex, huge beasts, some of which still live today. The author also provides a thoroughly biblical analysis of these “dragons of the sea” within the framework of the literal history outlined in Genesis. Dragons of the Deep is totally evolution-free, explaining the facts about fossils and much more, from a biblical perspective. The exciting evidence about sea monsters repeatedly confirms how most fossils were rapidly buried, caused by the upheavals that occurred during the Genesis flood. The facts presented in this book will help build biblically based scientific foundations in a young person, providing training to refute the atheistic, evolutionary world view that is encountered throughout life.

Informative book - sure to grab the attention of little ones,
By Jennifer Spinner "wife, mom, all-around nice gal" (Western Washington) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dragons of the Deep: Ocean Monsters Past and Present (Hardcover)
Disclaimer - this book is written from the Creationist standpoint.
This slim book presents 16 "dragons of the deep" with limited historical background and modern comparison - i.e., "...Xiphactinus was longer than your average family SUV." It's a nice coffee table book that is sure to spark interesting conversation with visitors! The illustrations are lovely - dreamy watercolors combined with sketches and "real" photography. Everyone in my family enjoys reading this book - or simply browsing over the photos and "fast facts." Great addition to your science curriculum or family library.

Dragons of the Deep,

This review is from: Dragons of the Deep: Ocean Monsters Past and Present (Hardcover)
I thought that this book was very entertaining, informative, educational and an all around excellent book. The 2 best things about the book were the Biblical references that backed up the information and the fact that my 5 year old daughter and 10 year old son really enjoy all the pictures of the animals and all the "cool facts" that are given about them.I have to congradulate the author(s) and the publisher(s) that put this book together.

Amazing book!,
By Lalit (US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragons of the Deep: Ocean Monsters Past and Present (Hardcover)
This is a book with nice illustrations and content. It is based on what the Bible says about 'Sea monsters'.
"God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:21 Since the Bible is true, 'Dragons of the Deep' is based on facts. I like it and it is truly one of a kind!
