The Electrifying Nervous System {Moms of Master Books review}
There are so many great ways to observe and study God’s amazing design in creation, especially when it comes to the systems of the human body. We just had the opportunity to review The Electrifying Nervous System by homeschooling pediatrician, Dr. Lainna Callentine, in the God’s Wondrous Machine series. This is the first book, but there will be nine total.
There are many things to like about this book. First, I’m impressed that it was written by a woman doctor who also happens to be a homeschool mom. What a great example for my daughters! Second, the photos and illustrations are excellent and spark the interest to read more. Third, the information is thorough and fascinating. Fourth, it’s an amazing testimony to God’s handiwork, clearly pointing to the design inherent in the human “machine. We are fearfully and wonderfully made!
Topics covered in the book include:
- The main areas and structures of the brain and what important role each plays in making your body work
- Awesome examples of God’s creativity in both the design and precision of human anatomy showing you are wonderfully made
- Important historical discoveries and modern medical techniques used for diagnosis and repair of the brain!
Learn interesting and important facts about why you sleep, the function of the central nervous system, what foods can superpower your brain functions, and more.
My girls (13, 7, 5) were a bit squeamish about looking at some of the photos and illustrations. They did not want to see pictures of the brain, to be honest. We were still able to learn a lot from this book, even skipping over those pictures. Our favorite part was learning about “brain foods” that enhance brain performance.
Once again, Master Books has provided us with a reference-quality book that makes a terrific addition to our homeschool library. We want to read the rest of the series!
