Lighthouse Trails Has Gone to Press with The Evolution Conspiracy

rp_ev-bk-lg.jpgTwenty five years ago Caryl Matrisciana and Roger Oakland came out with their co-authored book The Evolution Conspiracy. The book was published by Harvest House. While the creation/evolution debate was important back then, it is substantially more vital today. The western world’s push to have evolution taught in every public school and secular college has been successful, and unbeknownst to most, the effects of this invasion of evolutionary thinking have completely changed the morality and the spirituality of our present-day society. Thus, Lighthouse Trails is very pleased to announce that we have just gone to press with an updated expanded edition of this important book. This new edition also includes an updated foreword by Dr. John Morris, President Emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR).

The book will be back from press in 3-4 weeks. You may pre-order your copy today and will receive it the first week of May.  Below is the Table of Contents, listing chapters and sub-headings, in which you will see how relevant this book is for today. We believe every Christian family should read this book. Don’t send your children or grandchildren into the world without them having a solid understanding of creationism vs. evolution and how the “evolution conspiracy” has affected the world and even the church.
