I found this book to be absolutely riveting. The facts Bruce Malone presents in his book Brilliant: Made in the Image of God are fascinating and astounding. I seldom read nonfiction as rapidly as I do fiction, but each page of this book presents one amazing fact after another, drawing me to keep reading.The glimpses into ancient civilizations that the author provides give me an entirely different perspective on our distant ancestors. He presents evidence that speaks to skillful surgical procedures, detailed feats of architectural genius, exquisite artistic expression, and a sophisticated language created from cords of rope. This is only a smattering of the ancient wonders chronicled in Brilliant. The ingenuity and imagination of these civilizations rivals the technology of modern man.Mr. Malone parallels his findings with the Biblical timeline and casts a shadow over increasingly popular evolutionary beliefs. The facts presented in Brilliant are bound to entice and expand the mind of those who like to delve into the supposedly unexplained in pursuit of truth.I would recommend this book to any reader who likes ancient history as well as archaeological and scientific discovery. Even if a reader holds firm to an evolutionary view, this book contains many interesting facts that entertain and educate.Thank you to Search for the Truth Publications, from whom I received a complimentary copy of Brilliant: Made in the Image of God in exchange for my honest review.
"Brilliant" is a coffee-table style book that looks at 51 evidences--from the huge, perfectly fitted stones used by many ancient cultures to brain surgery to earthquake detectors--which show that ancient man was more intelligent and technologically advanced than we may assume. He uses a Biblical timeline on the bottom of the page to show when in time the evidence was probably created and a map to show where it was found.The book is full of colorful pictures of the evidence. The text gave a good description of the evidence and what it tells us about ancient humans. I think this would be a great book for all Christian tweens, teens, and adults, but especially those interested in history or ancient cultures.I received this book as a review copy from a publicist.
This is an amazing book and if anyone has problems knowing if our world is created or we came about through evolution, this is the book for you. It is easy to understand and in fact I could hardly put it down. I have seen Bruce Malone on Prophecy in the News and like him so much. I highly recommend this book and you will learn so much. Especially that the people in the ancient past were actually more intelligent than we are today and the inventions they had are superior to what we can do today and many of them we cannot duplicate. Bruce has other books and I recommend them all
Incredibly enthralling read. I have read (and own) numerous related books on this subject and found this book very difficult to put down...even after I had completed reading the book. The author touches and expands upon many very interesting topics...and is certain to gain the rapt attention of any reader...even an evolutionist. Many subjects are opened with interesting little stories that deftly segue into the primary topic of creation. Very well done!
This is a fascinating collection of facts concerning the incredible brilliance of the human race since ancient times. The belief that our intellectualism is evolving to higher heights is not at all supported by the evidence. This book brings to light the abilities God has given us from the very beginning of created time. This is certainly just an overview, however, and I only wish some of the evidence was explored more deeply.
Brilliant is blessedly Brilliant in logically discussing the world's timeline.If you believe wholeheartedly in the God of the Bible, now you have great information to discuss your belief.If you believe in the God of the Bible and Evolution, you need to read this book as he is an Awesome God and Evolution requires more unreasonable belief.
This graphically a beautiful book equalled by the amazing range of information. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be blown away by how incredible is our design.
I bought this for a birthday present did not read it myself although glancing through it I was impressed with the information contained therein.
