It's all the work of the God of Creation. This all-time Moody favorite explores the power and beauty of the universe we live in. You'll see the food "factories" that plants use. And you'll peer through a telescope into the vast reaches of space, while you ponder the God who put the galaxies in place. The same God who gave His Life for us on the cross.

Fish that lay eggs on dry land. Birds that navigate for thousands of miles without a map or compass. Bats that swoop through total darkness without the slightest bump in the night.

An unsuspecting insect is lured by a sweet scent. Suddenly the jaws of a carnivorous plant clamp shut. It’s dinnertime for the Venus Fly Trap. Long before man invented traps to capture his food, these carnivorous plants were putting them to work. In fact, many of man’s most ingenious inventions have been borrowed from God’s original designs in nature. In Prior Claim, you’ll explore the world of the trap-door spider, the archer fish, the rattlesnake, and many other fascinating animals that reflect the inventive genius of God. You’ll also see how the Creator has prior claim not only on ideas and inventions, but also on human lives.

The sloth. Nature's champion sluggard. One of the most misunderstood animals in the world. As recent as a century ago the sloth was regarded as a "blunder of nature." To capture this story, the Moody Institute of Science did research in the laboratory and in the jungles of Panama. The message Of Books and Sloths points out the dependability and the accuracy of the Scriptures as compared with man's writings which must be constantly revised to correct inaccuracies.

The human brain. The cicada or "seventeen-year locust." Chemicals reacting to one another. These three very different things have built-in "alarm clocks."

Dr. Moon and his assistants demonstrate the shocking power of the electric eel, which lives in the fresh waters of the Amazon Basin. The eel can discharge an electrical impulse capable of killing a horse. The study of the eel helps to answer many questions concerning the relationship of science and the Word of God.

Energy, the equivalent of mass; a radical conception, key to the atomic age. The idea expressed in E=MC^2 is actually quite simple. But it has caused a great revolution in scientific thinking. It means any object, a desk, a pencil, a piece of paper, just any bit of matter represents an unbelievable amount of energy. God of the Atom addresses man's spiritual bankruptcy and his need for regeneration.

Their cities were carved of stone. Built to last. Their society was unusually advanced. Destined for glory. Then, suddenly, the Mayan and Incan cultures disappeared. In Empty Cities, you'll explore silent citadels left behind on scattered mountaintops. And uncover evidence of remarkable achievements in medicine and mathematics, engineering and astronomy.

A tiny plane is lost in the clouds. The struggling pilot banks a turn to escape the dense cloud cover. His senses deceive him, telling him the plane has stopped turning. So he turns harder. But the nose drops. Speed picks up. And suddenly he's caught in a downward spiral, a graveyard spin. In Signposts Aloft, you'll find out how man's senses can be fooled in flight. You'll see experiments that dramatically illustrate the problems pilots and astronauts face. And you'll learn why man needs outside guidance from God, just as pilots need to place faith in their instrument controls.

As a roaring river, it rushes over rapids and falls. It drops from the sky in delicate snowflakes, and pounds the ground in hailstones. It fills our ice trays and provides power for electricity.
