God's World Science Series

This course contains 93 study sections in 8 units. Reviews are included at the end of each unit and at the end of each quarter. Each unit ends with a test, and a final test completes the course.

The book theme, "God's Orderly World," frequently shows the orderliness in the laws and designs of God's Creation. Another goal is to help the student understand the error of false science and how to guard against losing Biblical faith.
