“The Lake Lights” by William D. Burt is the first book in
his new Creation Series Seekers.
Jonathan Oliver, the main character, comes from a long line
of scientists and inventors, and after the disappearance of his father, sets out
to discover what the strange creatures are over Lake Oswego.
Jon's quest becomes more than a scientific homeschooling
project when he is confronted by evilness that wants to destroy
his father’s legacy and family at all costs.
God is an integral part of the story as William D. Burt discusses
evolution versus creationism. Throughout “The Lake Lights,” God’s concern over
the affairs of men is emphasized, and the compatibility of Christianity with
science is explored, giving the book a Christian worldview
I enjoyed the intrigue, the suspense, and the surprise
ending that ties everything together into a delightful and engaging story.
While the book is geared toward a younger audience, I
thoroughly enjoyed reading “The Lake Lights” in my “old age” and learned a few
scientific facts. I also highly recommend “The Lake Lights” to homeschooling
families and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
