Book Description

Publication Date: August 25, 2004 | Series: Jonathan Park Radio Drama (Book 1)

The Jonathan Park Radio Drama is a unique audio series that became an instant hit on Christian radio with the release of the show's first twelve episodes. Each fast-paced, half-hour episode gives families an example of how their Christian worldview plays itself out in everyday life. Though the stories are fictitious, the creation data presented in each broadcast is based on real research gathered from creation scientists worldwide, and the settings for the stories are based on actual geographic locations. Featured on more than 750 radio outlets around the world, Jonathan Park presents creation science in an engaging story format that the whole family can enjoy.

The Adventure Begins

While running from a storm, Jonathan and his father collide with the Brenan family as they seek shelter in a hidden cave. After discovering a massive dinosaur graveyard, these two families combine forces to build a Creation Science Museum to spread the message of the Creator!

Study guides for the Jonathan Park adventures can be downloaded at the Jonathan Park website.

''The children listening to our Saturday morning programming targeted toward them, really enjoy the [Jonathan Park] adventures, and I must say that I do too. They have the same excellent quality of the Odyssey series from Focus on the Family -Â… tough to beat in the market. Congratulations on a great product for children -Â… and even adults.'' - KUGT Radio

''My son, Jeffrey has always loved dinosaurs. The Jonathan Park tapes have taken that love and built on it. He now knows about creation versus evolution, what really happened to the dinosaurs, and that there is evidence to support the Biblical account of Noah's Flood -Â… Jeffrey is only 5, but if you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he'll tell you, 'A Creation scientist and a cowboy!''' Julie Moore

The Jonathan Park series is excellent, as it teaches biblical foundations

about creationism. It's not only educational, but it's entertaining for

children and parents. It reaches a wide audience. We have given this series as a gift and the parents bought more of the CDs for their children. It's

a quality series that you'll want to hear again and again!

We bought the first volume in this series because it was advertised by the Creation Museum. We did not know anything about it, nor did we know anyone that had heard it. We were not sorry. Since then we have bought the remaining 5 volumes and early await the release of the next.

There are precious few resources available for children that are interesting, educational and based on a literal interpretation of the Bible like this Jonathan Park series. This series is the best that we have found. My kids love them and can't wait to listen to the next episode (I also find them exciting). It clearly portrays the origin of the world on the Creation account in Genesis. It is filled with scientific evidence of the Flood, Creation and Intelligence Design, as well as the manner in which evolution became the predominant theory in science and has led to a society-wide rejection of the scriptures. In several episodes, clearly outlines the necessity of salvation and exactly what is required for salvation. If you want more information on the series, go to [...].

The only thing that we have found that is of similar value is the Focus on the Family series, Adventures in Odyssey. In comparison, I would have to say that dialogue and acting in the Adventures in Odyssey series is a little better, but as for content and interest (and well as a clearly articulated foundation in scripture), the Jonathan Park series is unparalleled. Also, there is a booklet that comes with the audio series (we did not get the booklet with Volume 6, though), and the booklets are also a fantastic resource. This is a purchase you won't regret.

My kids and I love this series! We homeschool and it's a great way to get science in. The lessons taught in the included study guide are so fascinating that they're actually sticking in our brains! :) We ordered the next series, too, and plan to get the whole set.
