Veritas Press Catalog 2008/2009 - (Page 63) S E V E N T H G R A D E Chosen by God R.C. Sproul Till We Have Faces C.S. Lewis Other Hand-Picked Titles Many books not included in the “semester packages” should be considered, too. We encourage you to select titles from the list below based on the needs and interests of your students and the expertise of the teacher. Our friend, R.C. Sproul expounds the classic doctrine of predestination. Predestination, he says, isn’t just for Calvinists. It is for all biblical Christians. Predestination doesn’t imply a whimsical or spiteful God, but paints the portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. Soft 213p #305-185 $12.99 Lewis’ retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche. An exploration of sacred and profane love, challenging the reader to consider the sinfulness of selfishness and the beauty of redemption. Story telling at its absolute finest. Soft 313p #250-240 The Ancient City: Life in Classical Athens & Rome $14.00 Peter Connolly The Chronicles of Narnia C.S. Lewis The Unaborted Socrates Peter Kreeft Easy reading and outstanding supposals make this an excellent learning tool for theological study and sheer enjoyment. Some individual titles are listed on page 28. (7 book set) #255-190 $55.93 Companion to Narnia This encyclopedic book is itself a joy to read. Well cross-referenced, one can spend hours revisiting Narnia in a whole new way. Soft 460p #255-220 $16.95 Subtitled “A Dramatic Debate on the Issues Surrounding Abortion,” the dialogue format of this book is a great tool to bring the abortion debate to life. The hateful response the book has received from the feminist and pro-abortion camp is nearly enough reason to praise it. Soft 155p #325-080 Stunning full-page, color drawings include a wealth of detail. Photographs and reproductions also illustrate the text. The daily life, history, and architecture of Athens and Rome are extensively covered. Outstanding! No student of classical Greece and Rome should be without it. Soft 256p #420-021 $22.95 The Ancient World Series $13.00 With sidebar notes referencing Latin and Greek roots, clear maps, famous art and more, in addition to clear, wellorganized text, these books will prove very useful for students gaining a sense of the culture and heritage that became ours. Hard 192p Greek Jennifer T. Roberts and Tracy Barrett The Eagle of the Ninth Rosemary Sutcliff In AD 119 the Ninth Roman Legion marched north and disappeared without a trace. Fifteen years later, Marcus Flavius Aquila, son of the unit’s commander, set out to recover the lost Eagle Standard of the Ninth, a symbol of the legion’s and his family’s honor. Great to draw the students into this time period.
