In a world needing faith over fear, Return to Terra Nova is fuel for the soul. —Adam Richardson, PhD Lead Pastor, Church at Sandhurst I love Thelma Ritchie’s books. They are full of life lessons and science and excitement. The reality of living a life following Christ is presented honestly. God’s truths are not compromised by science but are verified as the characters come to Him. —Diane Quagliana, Retired Virology Research Technician, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Microbiology Children’s Leader, Bible Study Fellowship I was trying to read it slowly but then ended up immersed in the characters and story, and just sat and read and read and read. —Diana Low, Retired Educator, Mercer Island School District During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself not being able to put this book down. I found solace in reading Return to Terra Nova while my life shifted dramatically. The scripture is interwoven throughout reminding me of God’s promises. It explores the complexity of human relationships while set in a true-to-life scientific background. The setting on Mars incorporates many basic scientific principles such as horticulture as a source of both food and oxygen for the settlement. As a science educator, who is also a Christian, I highly recommend this book for all ages. —Susan Shelton, Middle School Science Teacher, Columbia School District These books are exactly what I was looking for when my kids were younger, as they are well written, enjoyable to read, and educational with a Christian message. —Colleen Broaddus, Former Trustee, The Bear Creek School Group Leader, Bible Study Fellowship
