Brilliant (Made in the Image of God)

by Bruce A. Malone

128 pages Publisher: Search for the Truth Ministries Released: November 1, 2014

"A new book released last month reveals the accuracy of the Bible’s historical accounts and spotlights several recent findings that contradict the evolutionary time-frame.
Bruce Malone, founder of Search for the Truth Publications, is a popular Christian speaker and author of several books, including “Censored Science.” His latest book, titled “Brilliant,” explores the timeline of world history through a biblical worldview.

“Cultures throughout the world are filled with mysteries which do not fit the pervasive evolutionary time-frame, but make perfect sense if the Biblical timeline of history is understood,” Malone said in a press release. “‘Brilliant’ takes the Bible seriously and every page contains an artifact from some ancient culture testifying to the reality of these true events of history.”
“Brilliant” highlights many recent historical and archaeological findings that challenge the uniformitarian, evolutionary time-frame. The Ice Age, the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Great Flood, and many other historical events are documented within the book’s pages.
Though many Christians focus primarily on spiritual matters with little regard for historical matters, Malone says this viewpoint is unwise: “In John 3:12—just four verses before the most famous verse in the Bible—Jesus says, ‘If you do not believe me of earthly things, how will you believe me of spiritual things?’ He connected the two.”
“Without out a doubt, the Bible has become increasingly not credible to the non-Christian world around us, and most colleges and most Christian colleges and most denominations totally ignore what the Bible has to say about the real, historical, physical stuff of the world around us,” he said. “And I think that’s a big part, if not the primary reason, the Bible has become not credible to the world around us.”
“This book takes the Bible credibly,” he stated. “It assumes it means what it says, instead of assuming it doesn’t mean what it says.”
“Every page of ‘Brilliant’ has a timeline running across the top that shows creation about 6,000 years ago, the Flood about 4,350 years ago … it shows where the Tower of Babel fits, and it also shows where the Ice Age fits in,” explained Malone."
