The "Jonathan Park" audio series is about the Park and Brennan families.  They joined together and decided to be the Creation Response Team.  One time they went on a TV show called "Battle of the Worldviews" to debate the Explorer Society, an evolutionary scientists' group.  They decided to try to supply evidences for their worldview to try to beat the Explorer Society's evidences.  You can find more about that story on Jonathan Park: The Explorer's Society.  In another story the Creation Response Team tries to find the stolen manuscript Beowulf, a manuscript that supports the Biblical teaching that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time.  You can find more about that in Jonathan Park: The Hunt for Beowulf.

I love Jonathan Park.  Jonathan Park teaches me about creation, the Bible and family unity.

The Bible In The Wall is a story is about a man named Antonio.  Antonio was a brick layer.  One day a lady gave Antonio a Bible but his priest told him it was dangerous and that he should get rid of it.  Antonio was building a brick building and when he came to a gap in the wall, he decided to use the Bible for filler. He pounded the Bible into the gap and covered it with mortar.

Several years later a fire burnt down the city. During the rebuilding process, a man named Giovanni was testing Antonio's wall and found the Bible. Later Giovanni met Antonio and told him the story of finding a Bible in a wall. Antonio was furious and wanted nothing to do with Bibles.

Will Antonio ever finally read God‘s Word and be saved?  Read this book for a good ending.
I love the book. It teaches me to love the Bible and demonstrates the power of God's Word to change a man's heart.
