My Father’s Workshop

Product Description

What if the heavens were to open and, amid all the grandeur of God’s Creation, you found yourself in a one-on-one conversation with God? Would you wonder if this was a dream? In what could have been a tragic accident, Jimmy, a precocious eleven-year-old boy, is about to experience the ultimate odyssey of a guided tour of the Creator’s workshop.
Jimmy, now a grown-up, shares his experience with kids by unlocking the secret inner workings of the gadgets they love and use every day. He does this in a special hands-on science clubhouse called My Father’s Workshop.
Unfortunately, many young people today cite science as the reason for not believing. For too long, these children have been the target of an agenda to remove God from their young lives, an agenda carried out by science education in our public schools. This brainwashing has mostly gone unchallenged, until now.
My Father’s Workshop is a truly original and tenderhearted story finely tuned to a child’s faith and curiosity. It is an intricately-woven tapestry that combines the science of Genesis with God’s perfect love and His plan for salvation. It is a Bible study and a science lesson rolled into one.
Like many stories that have happy endings, you might want to keep some tissue handy for an occasional tear or two.

Review

By Dr. Cathie Hughes

My Father’s Workshop is an original, innovative, and inspirational great work that leaves the reader in awe on so many levels. By the end of the book, one is moved by and perhaps impassioned to be part of the author’s science labs outreach initiative for young people.

The book is written with the utmost craftsmanship. Every word and phrase is precisely articulated with the mastery of an artist who carefully chooses each color and hue from a pallet of countless words. The stories within the story are an artful expression of the confluence of science and God, the creator of our universe.

James Phillips’ book is a masterpiece that is both timely and timeless. A moral of the story’s “Call to Action” is timely because our society has with an immense force adopted a secularist worldview. This perspective is decreed in part through educational standards and common core state standards that eliminate a study of God’s design. The impact is validated by the startling percentage of our youth that does not believe in our Creator.

My Father’s Workshop is a treasure piece that is timeless, attesting to the eternal nature of God through an ingenious and witty narrative. The book and workshop series are highly recommended as a resource for parents, grandparents, and anyone who has the care of youth, Family Life Education programs, youth group ministries, and community-based organizations and programs. It has arrived at an unprecedented moment in history. Its spiritual and scientific truths are as timeless as our Creator. It’s unlikely you’ll ever find this book in a yard sale. It is a treasure trove of objective honesty written in a most rational and endearing way. What a blessing it was to find this most wonderful book! Soli Deo Gloria!

From the Author

“My Father’s Workshop” is a timely work that is 85% non-fiction, 5% fiction and 10% philosophical expression.
  In today’s culture, it is also politically incorrect. It is about the social consequences of removing God as creator of the universe via the science curriculums of public education.

It’s the story of two opposing views, two subjects that are usually not discussed in polite company. They stir up a great deal of passion from both sides.
  It is akin to discussing politics and religion.
  Where the conflict lies is in an overall ignorance of the laws of physics, nature, scripture and, most importantly, the
