Doesn't the Brief Statement of 1932 still apply? Or the last action of our 2004 convention, affirming preaching / teaching creation? This is very disappointing. I was very excited by prospects of this book, as well as "The Real Story of the Flood", initially, and was very disappointed after reading through these (just got my copies earlier this week). I'll probably be sending these back to CPH for a refund. It appears that similar offerings from Answers in Genesis will serve our need for such children's materials better than this CPH offering.

Dear brother in office,

Thank you for a well-thought, well-written post. Were it not for my procrastinating nature, I might have said the same thing. Anyhow, and on another topic, you’re now listed among other confessional Lutheran bloggers in the BBOV.
