There are so many magazines available for children today. Many have great educational value and I know my daughter has a few favorites. Creation Illustrated is different though, and is a magazine that I have been wanting to take a look at for a while now.
Creation Illustrated is published quarterly (beginning in Fall 1993) as a private, nonprofit, non-denominationally owned ministry dedicated to the eternal impact of sharing Biblical truth through the blessings of God's creation.
Tom and Jennifer's story is really wonderful and you can read more about it here.
Creation Illustrated is published quarterly and each edition is divided into three sections: Creation Illustrated in Nature, in Scripture, and in Living. We received the following four magazines: Summer 2011, Fall 2011, Spring 2012, and Winter 2012.
My Thoughts: I just can't say enough about Creation Illustrated! The pictures are beautiful, stories meaningful, and it is all for the glorification of God. And what is wonderful is that both adults and children alike will enjoy it.
Thoughts of a 9-Year Old: I think Creation Illustrated magazines are wonderful. My favorite story is Alert and Agile [found in fall 2011] which is about pronghorn goats. The pics are fab and there are cool facts about them. There's even a photo shoot contest and every issue has that season's winner[s]! The best part though is that the whole entire magazine is based on God! Every article has a phrase, for instance [the phrase in the pronghorn goat article]: "Like the pronghorn, Christians need to be alert and watchful for dangers. The apostle Peter tells us to keep watch for the devil so we will not be deceived [1 Peter 5:8] in order to avoid his many forms of deception..." This magazine has not only wonderful stories, but beautiful pictures as well. An enchanting magazine!

Wasn't the magazine great!?! I have loved looking at the pictures. I just can't believe the detail. I'm new to the Crew and am thinking that this is going to be a really fun year!
I agree! I was worried my daughter, who is 9, wouldn't read the articles, but she did and she enjoyed them. I love how we can read it together and discuss. :)
