Unfortunately the subject of the philosophy of math is beyond the reach of this Christian author. She has no clue as to the nature of numbers and ascribes all kinds of man-made ideas to God without any Biblical support. My college professor told me that 90% of peer reviewed articles are trash. After 30 years, I see that 99.99% of books are trash. This book belongs in that vast trash bin.

Katherine's excellent book is easy to read. It will not only help you understand God's purpose for math and how math testifies of God, but it will also give you some practical suggestions for implementing what you learn into your home school program. In addition, she rates current math curriculum as to how well they present math in the context of God's Word and includes a sample idea notebook for using math in your daily lives. Congratulations, Katherine, on a job well done!
