To celebrate 25 years of serving Catholic homeschool families on the web, we are holding weekly prize drawings for a month. These drawings will feature some of our favorite resources.

First up is A Doorway of Amethyst, written by our dear friend and former Love 2 Learn review board member, Mary Daly. Mary had a passion for both faith and science, recognizing and cherishing the unity of truth. She made several wonderful contributions to education for Catholic youth, including our featured title. Cancer took her from us far, far too early. Please pray for the repose of her soul, and for her family, especially her husband, Mike. We miss you, Mary! Please pray for us as well!

Our reviewer writes:

Here is a geology text that assumes no conflict between Christianity and science and is faithful to Church teaching. This book covers basic topics in geology, including the Earth's age and composition, the dynamics of continental plate motion, classification of rocks and soil, effects of glaciers, radiometric dating, and more. The illustrations are lovely and hand-drawn – not what you would expect in a textbook. ...

Overall, I think A Doorway of Amethyst is a very good, well-written geology text. I am grateful that Mary Daly took the time to write it. I recommend it and plan to use it again.
