No longer am I a writer. I become a time traveler who stands unseen in the shadows and reports the events as they take place." Mr. Tiner is well known for his popular books about science and religion. Other Sower Series books by Mr. Tiner include biographies of Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Samuel F. B. Morse, and Robert Boyle. He is also the author of several science textboooks. John Tiner and his wife, Jeanene, live in High Ridge, Missouri.

My son loves these books! He is 9 years old, I try to make sure I read what he is reading. I love his taste! Wonderful character building book! Highlights the achievements and character of a man following his dream and God's will. We have now read most of this series and enjoy them a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, September 19, 2007
This review is from: Louis Pasteur: Founder of Modern Medicine (Sowers.) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much. It kept my attention throughout it. There were so many things that I didn't know about Pasteur. This book covered it all. I am interested in people who discover the cure for diseases. Pasteur found a lot of cures. Too bad we don't have him around now. He could use his help.
