Jonathan Park: No Looking Back, Vol. 2

by Douglas W. Phillips

The Jonathan Park Radio Drama is a unique audio series that became an instant hit on Christian radio with the release of the show’s first twelve episodes (4 CDs). Each fast-paced, half-hour episode gives families an example of how their Christian worldview plays itself out in everyday life. Though the stories are fictitious, the creation data presented in each broadcast is based on real research gathered from creation scientists worldwide, and the settings for the stories are based on actual geographic locations. Featured on more than 750 radio outlets around the world, Jonathan Park presents creation science in an engaging story format that the whole family can enjoy. No Looking Back is the second album in this exciting audio series. Featuring twelve new episodes, No Looking Back builds on the fossil-digging explorations of the first broadcasts as Jonathan Park and his family pursue a new opening a dinosaur graveyard, a giant cave, and a creation museum. From the "The Bones of Contention" to the "The Blazing Star", these fasted-pace, 28-minute audio adventures "dig deep" into biblical principles even as Jonathan and his companions unearth new wonders of the created world. This album comes packaged with a free 64-page downloadable Study Guide that features fun facts, trivia and Bible studies corresponding with each of the twelve exciting episodes. All study guides can be downloaded at the Jonathan Park website. LISTENER COMMENTS "The children listening to our Saturday morning programming targeted toward them, really enjoy the [Jonathan Park] adventures, and I must say that I do too. They have the same excellent quality of the Odyssey series from Focus on the Family… tough to beat in the market. Congratulations on a great product for children… and even adults." –KUGT Radio "My son, Jeffrey has always loved dinosaurs. The Jonathan Park tapes have taken that love and built on it. He now knows about creation versus evolution, what really happened to the dinosaurs, and that there is evidence to support the Biblical account of Noah’s Flood… Jeffrey is only 5, but if you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he’ll tell you, ‘A Creation scientist and a cowboy!’" –Julie Moore

About the author

Doug Phillips is a sinner, saved by grace. God was pleased to place him in the home of Howard and Peggy Phillips, two outstanding parents who loved him and poured their lives into him. His father personally discipled Doug for much of his life, taking Doug with him around the country, such that Doug had traveled with his family through 49 of the 50 states by the time he was 18. His father — a former candidate for President of the United States who served as Acting Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity under Richard Nixon — faithfully read both Old and New Testament to him at the dinner table, taught him constitutional law, public policy, and communicated to Doug a remarkable passion for history. They listened together to more than 2,000 audiocassettes on history, books, and theology.

As a young man, Doug was also discipled by Robert Gifford, a great preacher of the Word and pastor of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church, who communicated to Doug a passion for Christian apologetics and the sovereignty of God. Because of his father’s work as a statesman, Doug had the opportunity to spend time with, and learn from, many of the great Christian leaders of the last 30 years. It was during this time, however, that Doug came to realize that the greatest witness a man could offer for Jesus Christ was not what he knew, but how he lived his life as a father and a husband. It was at this time that God began to build a vision in Doug’s life for seeing the restoration of biblical manhood, godly femininity, and the Christian home.

While running a Christian newspaper in college, Doug met Beall, a young woman who ran a ministry to unwed mothers called “Alternatives to Abortion” (interestingly enough, Beall herself had been adopted). Five years later, on “the happiest day of my life — except for every day after that,” Doug and Beall were married. Doug attended law school for the purpose of developing skills that would help him defend home educators and Christian parents from State tyranny. He graduated from George Mason School of Law, where he studied under judges Robert Bork and Doug Ginsberg. He served for six years at the Home School Legal Defense Association in multiple capacities including staff attorney and Director of the National Center for Home Education.
