Calculus and Christ, The story of Sir Isaac Newton

Modern reader meet Isaac Newton the world's greatest mathematician. This is a delightful page turner that was so fun and so engaging to read. I literally enjoyed every paragraph. So many things you either forget or were never told about Newton. The author lines out the facts, the man, his fellows and enemies into a wonderful story that flows well. I am so thankful for being given the chance to read this book as it may be my favorite read for the whole year. Every 7th to 9th grader should be required to read this book so they can better engage their studies and their world. Its an absolute must for homeschooling families and Christian schools. This time you take to read this very approachable book will only enhance learning in every field.
What is it about a man, his life and his life's work that so engages us after almost 300 years since he died? Impact. Isaac Newton left an impact that affects every last educated person ever since his first works became famous in the late 1600s. Think about that. Every educated person on the planet since around 1680 has been touched by this man, used his equations in math, stayed up late trying to understand calculus, talked about and thought about gravity, planetary motion and optics. Newton's gravity apple never dropped on his head but the impact of the event has been placed inside the heads of millions. Thank you Mitch Stokes for cracking open the vault of history and reintroducing a man that we should have never forgotten in the first place. And, to my utter delight, I learned that Newton above all else loved the Lord Jesus and did everything, even math, for His glory. Can't wait to meet him in heaven. Sadly, the liberal, godless government schools since the 60s have stopped telling us the truth about the men of history that we study. How dare they not tell us that the most important thing to this man was not calculus but Christ.

I read this book as a free gift from www.booksneeze.com but they in no way tell the blogger what to write only that they have to write a review if they want to choose another book. Its a sweet deal and I am thankful.
