Evolution Of A Creationist: 2013 Edition
Once a firm believer in Darwinism, Dr. Martin is now a committed creationist. Why? In this probing analysis of evolutionary theory, Martin examines the distinct differences between the creationist and evolutionist viewpoints; animals that don't fit the Darwinian pattern; and reasons why the Bible should be considered a reliable book of science. 320 pages, softcover from Biblical Discipleship.

I couldn't make it. I was 50% of the way through and it was too repetitive and wordy. That's not to say the arguments aren't solid, and the information at the back of the book which Jobe added in 2013 are interesting to read as well.
The main point which he returns to over and again is that evolutionists and even theistic evolutionists have no factual evidence of evolution and rely on assumptions to hold to their beliefs.
His conclusion at the end of the book (I skipped to it) is that a lot of Christians don't worry about these parts of Genesis and creation because they don't think it affects their faith in Christ. But Jobe argues that they should because creation deals with the Fall of man with Adam, and that if you don't have faith in the creation and fall it eliminates completely a need for believing in Jesus's coming to fix the fall.
While some of these statements he provides as evidence of creationism seemed loosely based in science, most all of what he argues is logically valid and well thought out, as opposed to angrily ranted.
Before reading this book I did not think the Bible meant 7 literal days when it talked of creation. And I thought "young earthers" were sort of ridiculous. AFTER reading this book I now believe in both. And that was only after admittedly making it halfway through.
It's 3 stars because it's too dense.
