We have been studying Ancient History this year and I have been searching for a book to learn more about the stars in our night sky one that did not contain information on astrology, horoscopes or the zodiac. Star Chronicles: A Bible-Based Study of the Stars filled this requirement for me.

I received a PDF version of the book which I downloaded to my computer and transferred to my Galaxy Tab. I printed off the star charts and notebooking pages which are all neatly together in a handy section at the back of the book. I have stored these in a folder for use as we study each constellation.
Next I took some time to read Dawnita's introduction and the first chapter. I was very impressed with all the amazing historical and biblical information in each chapter. In fact I was so excited that I sat down the next day and read this information out loud to Sir N. Some of it was a little difficult for him to grasp as he is only eight years old. I then gave him the colouring in sheet to colour.
I have now adapted how I use the book. I read the chapter myself and give Sir N a summarised version of information. I think he senses how excited I am to be able to share with him the story of God in the heavens and just how much God has put in the heavens for us to know about Himself both now, in the past and in the future.
Each constellation is introduced with a star chart with accompanying supporting constellations. You are then given a word study on the name of the constellation followed by some historical and biblical information. All scriptures are fully quoted.
Each of the stars in the chart are introduced and explained in relation to the scriptures.
The stars are referenced to Old Testament and New Testament information.
The constellations covered in the book are:
- Virgin and Bride (Virgo)
- Justice & Balance (Libra)
- Sting of Death (Scorpio)
- Archer (Sagittarius)
- Goat (Capricorn)
- Water Bearer (Aquarius)
- Fish (Pisces)
- The Lamb (Aries)
- A Bull (Taurus)
- Twins (Gemini)
- Resurrection (Cancer)
- Lion (Leo)

Over all I'm enjoying this book and look forward to using it again when Sir N is in the highschool years. It would make a great bible study tool too. Thank you to Dawnita for giving me the opportunity to share about your book and for the PDF to use with my family.
