IN THE BEGINNING Reader's Guide

How to read Brown's IN THE BEGINNING:

(1)The book is constructed as a seminar guide book, with the main speaking points in the main body of the text and more detail in the notes.

(2)You will need two bookmarks, one for the main text, and the second for the detailed notes.

(3)The notes often have far more information than the main text.

(4)Determining the number of pages to read per day will require you to keep track of both the number of pages in the main text and the notes.

(5)Brown has done his homework, compiling quotes form many sources and many topics. This is an encyclopedia of creation science.

Savage Nation Book Recommendation

A book recommended on the Michael Savage radio program Savage Nation: Gerald L. Posner SECRETS OF THE KINGDOM [ISBN 1400062918 ]. It is about the true nature of Islam and the Saudi royal family. It sounded like it would fit in with the conspiratorial view of history curriculum.

Dick Cheney Quote

from the 2005 Air Force Graduation: Vice President Dick Cheney, ' There are some who doubt our resolve to fight terrorism, but the leaders of the Taliban in Afganistan and Sadam Hussen in Iraq are not among them.'
