Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Sir Isaac Newton is one of history’s most renowned scientists. He independently developed the mathematical techniques known as Calculus, wrote a treatise on the properties of light and color that is still consulted by scientists, and worked out the mathematical details of the Law of Gravity. What is less well known is the depth of his Christian faith and the amount of writing, speaking, and research that he put into a defense of the tenets of Biblical theology. This book will make Newton come alive for its readers. From the detailed account of the events that led to his conversion, his Christian faith plays a central role in this biography, as it did in his life. Independent reading level is upper elementary (about 5-6th grade).

About the Author
Joyce McPherson is the author of several biographies for young people. She has a BS from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. She and her husband, Garth, homeschool their six children in Florida. Joyce has written about the vibrant faith of famous men in a variety of fields. Her lively biographies bring history to life and illustrate the impact of the Christian worldview in Western Civilization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for young readers, May 11, 2000
By A Customer
I read this book to my five and nine year old and they both loved it. A well written story that is told from Newton's early childhood and on to his adult years in a way that will help young readers remember the facts of his life.
