Do you love to stargaze? Does the night sky capture your imagination and evoke a sense of awe and wonder within your inner most being? Do you remember when you were a child and you wished upon a star or tried to find the big and little dipper? Maybe you can remember thinking you saw the man in the moon! Our family loves doing all these things. There is not much better to do on a warm summer evening than to grab a blanket and head outside to enjoy the wonderful night sky that God has blessed us with. Even though everything I mentioned above is fun to do there is so much more to the night sky than what we see when we look up! As a homeschool mom I love turning every day life moments into learning adventures. There is so much to learn about the night sky and Dr. Jason Lisle's book - The Stargazer's Guide to the Night Sky is an amazing resource tool for learning all you can about the stars, constellations, the moon, planets and so, so much more!
The book comes in textbook form and is filled with beautiful pictures and information on everything from Telescopes to Astrophotography and everything in between. On the very front cover page you will find Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
I love a book that not only fills you with knowledge, but also has a foundation in The Word of God. As Dr. Jason Lisle says in the book "An understanding of the heavens can only deepen a person's appreciation for the Creator".
This is not the first book we have of Dr. Jason Lisle and I'm sure it won't be the last. We were able to meet him and listen to a few of his talks last year at a Homeschool Expo that we attend. I do encourage you to read this book and other books of his! God made this great big universe for us to enjoy and learn about! Let this book be your Guide to the Night Sky!
