5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, October 9, 1999
This review is from: Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher (Sower Series) (Paperback)
This book should be placed in the adult section at church in addition to the children's section. These days new books are coming out claiming Newton to have been a deist and to have dabbled in alchemy, while his Christianity has been completely ignored. This book blows the covers off of those myths. Newton is shown to have been a dedicated Christian believer as well as a dedicated scientist. Many quotes from his one million word commentaries on the Bible are mentioned. His relationships with other important Christian scholars of the day are explored, and his true genius are revealed. The book will even bring a tear to your eye. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review from a kid in AZ, December 6, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher (Sower Series) (Paperback)
The title of the book is Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was a boy born on Christmas. Isaac was interested in models at first, but his interests changed. Soon he became more intrigued in other things, and he started studying things like Science, Physics and, Math. Through his youth, Isaac transferred from many schools.In the future he wanted to start doing experiments of his own. This story takes place in many settings such as, his home, Trinity University, ext. The theme of the book is, go out and learn. I liked this book because it taught me many things, like where ring around the rosies came from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and enjoyable!, August 6, 2005
By 
IndiansJN "JNV" (Floral City, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher (Sower Series) (Paperback)
I love this book, and read it because my 9 year old son said he enjoyed it so much! Newton is an amazing man and is to be looked up to. His accomplishments are incredible, and include more than gravity! I'm interested in his theological writings and thoughts as I never knew he had any...all I managed to learn in school was that an apple fell on his head and this led to his discovering gravity. The things you miss in grade school! Newton is a fascinationg subject for people of all ages and this book is a great starting point for adults who missed much of what went on in class. For children it is a far more accurate and rounded teaching tool than I ever received for those who are interested in science and in character building.
Great to read aloud!
