    Great book
    Review by Eduardo
    For me this book is unique. There are few books of logic that an 7th grader can understand and have a very good biblical foundation. Check also the online program where the author explain the lessons it is very good!
    Loved it!
    Review by Missionary Mom
    Two of our boys (8th and 10th grades) did this study together and really enjoyed it. Our whole family benefited as they would share with us what they were learning. In this world where thinking logically seems to be in short supply, this was a great study for our boys to do.
    Designed well
    Review by Ashley
    I absolutely love this for my 9th grader. Logic is such an important life skill, and this one is taught so well. The design and presentation of the textbook pages are simple, yet visually pleasing.
    Good introductory lessons
    Review by Betty
    The reasoning seems little repetitive and short. Otherwise it is a good book to get started thinking in the right direction.
    So thankful

    Must buy
    Review by JOSHUA
    Even if you just buy this book to read its a great book to add to any collection I did this with my 6th grader because he is very advanced in the Bible. He begged daily to read more. This was very informative and engaging. I would definitely buy again.
    Thumbs up
    Review by Michelle
    I love that this book comes from a Biblical perspective. We need to teach our kids how to be prepared for the world and this book is very helpful.
    Great text
    Review by Tara
    This textbook was amazing to read. We love the practical examples and the loving ways it pointed out the fallacies of other viewpoints. While reading it with my sons, they were able to analyze fallacies that they had heard in their own lives and discuss why they weren’t logical and proper reasoning. Great foundation to thinking logically.
