The Missing Link: Found

I recently received a copy of The Missing Link: Found written by Christina Gerwitz and Felice Gerwitz. Christina and her mother wrote this book with homeschoolers in mind. In fact, Christian was just a teen when she and her mother collaborated to produce this novel.

I was excited to receive a book that was written for youth from a Christian perspective. I happen to love mystery/action novels, and if your child does, you may want to consider purchasing the first book in the Truth Seekers Mystery Series.The characters are portrayed honestly, and their struggles in choosing the Godly thing to do adds reality to the novel.

My eight year old started to read it and loved the beginning. I do think the content was a bit much for him, so I do recommend this book for older children.Here is an excerpt from the author's website:

"Once again, the Murphy teens are propelled into another exciting adventure! While on vacation in the Keys, a devious plot unfolds, and the Murphys find themselves in the middle of a full-speed boat case and encounter with the FBI. Their vacation plans are then cut short by the arrival of a cryptic message form Dr. Murphy's brother, requesting his immediate presence at an anthropological dig along the Peace River. What Dr. Murphy, Christian, and Anna find there is anything but peaceful!Encountering a deadly illness, the Murphys must also wrestle with a startling discovery and its potential results. The Missing Link has been discovered, finally providing evidence for the theory of evolution. But, what about the Bible? Didn't God create the world as recorded in Genesis? In addition, is there a connection between their adventure on the high seas and their discoveries a the dig site? Join the Murphys as they are faced with danger and a race against time in search for the truth.In the Truth Seekers Mystery Series, you'll experience adventure, mystery, heart stopping suspense, and faith played out first-hand by the Murphy family. This action adventure mystery will keep you guessing to the very end!"

The other great thing about this book is it is using Creation Science to add to the adventure. The Media Angels website is full of resources pertaining to Creation Science. Visit Media Angels and Truth Seeker Mystery Series Today!
