Noah Ark Feasibility

Summary

Noah's Ark Feasibility explores the age-old question of whether the Ark, as described in Genesis, could have actually floated and housed the necessary animals. By applying principles of science and naval architecture, the book investigates two key issues: the structural integrity of a wooden vessel of such massive dimensions and the logistical challenges of caring for a vast array of animal species. The analysis delves into buoyancy and weight distribution, asking if "Gopher wood" and ancient shipbuilding techniques could have provided sufficient strength.

 
The book's central argument is that while challenges exist, engineering calculations suggest the Ark could have possessed the structural integrity to float, though near its maximum capacity. This conclusion, while not confirming a global flood, offers a reasoned, evidence-based perspective on the Ark's potential viability. Beginning with the biblical specifications, the book progresses through engineering calculations of buoyancy, stability, and stress distribution. It then addresses logistical concerns like animal capacity, food storage, and waste management, bridging Biblical Studies and Science to offer a unique, objective analysis.

Shaping the Journey of Emerging...

Richard R. Dunn, Jana L. Sundene

Between adolescence and adulthood is a new stage of life: emerging adulthood.Those in their twenties and early thirties find themselves in transition. This "provisional adulthood" is a time of identity exploration and instability in whichone's vocation, purpose, relationships and spirituality are all being renegotiated. Many emerging adults lose sight of God and experience significant confusion and brokenness. Others unexpectedly reconnect with the Christian faith and seek deeper discipleship, yet lack helpful mentoring and direction.
Veteran disciplemakers Rick Dunn and Jana Sundene offer concrete guidance for those who shepherd and care for emerging adults. Some traditional models of disciplemaking focus on a set curriculum to be transferred from the discipler to the disciplee. Dunn and Sundene instead emphasize relational rhythms of discernment, intentionality and reflection to meet emerging adults where they are at and then to walk with them further into the Christlife.
Whether you're an older adult ministering to the next generation or a younger adult with a heart for your peers, this book is an accessible, hopeful guide for effective ministry to emerging adults.
