Character Sketches, Volume 3

Character Sketches #3

by Institute in Basic Life Principles, Severt Andrewson (Illustrator)

The very nature and character of God is seen all throughout His created universe. Job remarked, But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee (Job 12:7-8). Each section of this Character Sketches volume begins with a captivating read-aloud nature story that introduces the character quality being taught and continues with interesting facts on the featured animal's characteristics and physical features. This is followed by a story from Scripture that illustrates the character quality, along with background information on the individual or situation in the story, which is then summed up in a character sketch. Generously illustrated with stunning lifelike watercolor and pencil drawings, this oversized book (9 1/4" by 12 1/4") will be treasured and enjoyed for generations. The series is designed to be a tool that fathers can use to teach their children basic concepts of Scripture that are illustrated in the world of nature. Among our best-loved publications, hundreds of thousands have enjoyed the gripping stories and beautiful illustrations that the volumes contain.

Again, this had many excellent illustrations of various principles from nature, tied in with Scripture stories and lessons but some of it has to be read with discernment and correction. Still excellent for the most part.

If you notice the cover their is a picture of an Eagle. In the story It explains that eagles are curious but smart creatures.
I went to Oxbow Park and saw an eagle it had been captured and without any food other than hamburger it started to eat its leg off. So it was sent to Oxbow Zoo where they take endangered or hurt animals.

I think it would be a good idea to read these books and then go find the ones that are around you to compare what you learned in the book. It will help you notice more
