  • The Faith of a Seeker: Integrating Science and Scholarship with Christian Experience

    Robert H. Morris

    language (Elm Hill, July 31, 2018)
    In The Faith of a Seeker, the author draws upon his lifelong search for truth and understanding, trying to face squarely the difficult issues of faith and science and those raised by biblical criticism. After an introductory essay on seeking and the seeker, he turns to recent ideas and findings in cosmology and how they relate to biblical faith. He then devotes three full chapters to biological evolution and to the relation of humans to apes, taking the best books available on both sides of the issue and setting their arguments side by side. After finding what he feels is sufficient evidence for the biblical God, he then makes his own arguments for the being and nature of God, followed by a lengthy chapter on Jesus and a short one on the Holy Spirit, then a study of the Bible itself. The final chapters are: “The Supernatural”; “Our Human Condition”; “A Seeker’s Life of Faith”; “Concluding Remarks.”

  • Grandma Ursu, Think Blue!

    Robert Morris

    Hardcover (Ursu Publications, June 15, 2003)
    "Grandma Ursu, Think Blue" does not preach; it does not frighten; it does not confuse. Instead, it provides a simple message that disarms children's fears and opens lines of communication among parents, teachers and children about the threat of terrorism. This may seem harsh and foreboding; but somehow itÂ’s not. "Grandma Ursu, Think Blue" is a charming and enjoyable journey of a little girl who knows more than just how to improve the Department of Homeland Security's Terrorism Advisory System. You finish the book with a feeling that preparing children for the unimaginable is possible and necessary. It opens a door to prepare and guide children through a part of our society and world from which we are unable to shelter them. There is no universal message to help children cope with the threat of terrorism but fostering security and development requires open communication and preparation. "Grandma Ursu, Think Blue" is a story that says to your children itÂ’s ok to ask questions and provides a platform for a topic that can be difficult to address. Recommended for children age 6 to 8.

  • The Birds of Springfield and Vicinity

    Robert O. Morris

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Oct. 22, 2015)
    About the Book Birds are also known as Aves, and are a group of endothermic vertebrates, whose major features are feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, and a strong but lightweight skeleton. Birds range from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) ostrich of Africa. Birds are the world’s most numerically-successful class of tetrapods, with ten thousand extant species. More than half of the bird species are passerines, which are often termed perching birds. Birdwatching, or birding, is the observation of birds as a recreational activity or amateur science activity. Traditionally done by direct eyesight, binoculars and telescopes allow visual enhancement, and listening for bird sounds provides auditory pleasure.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
