The Frozen Sword

FAITH VERSUS SCIENCE AND EVOLUTION ISSUES EXPLORED IN FANTASY AND ADVENTURE NOVEL

An Intelligent Designer versus evolution … faith versus science … the flaws of Charles Darwin’s theories. Heavy, deep topics for sure; ones which have been examined in scholarly treatises and exhaustive analyses by academics.

Enter Patricia Taylor-Shipley’s The Frozen Sword: Secret of the Veiled Power. Taylor-Shipley’s novel seamlessly blends fantasy and adventure with science, faith and some of mankind’s most enduring questions.

Beyond the entertainment value lie probing insights and illustrative examinations of profound humankind questions. The Frozen Sword: Secret of the Veiled Power is also unique in that although written for younger readers, it also holds strong appeal for adults, evidenced by adults and scientists who have already endorsed and praised the book.

The Frozen Sword revolves around a 13 year old orphan, forced to leave his foster home, who ends up embarking on a journey of supernatural warfare as his search for the truth begins.

Simian, is projected into a land of deceit and supernatural warfare as his epic journey in search of the truth begins. The Frozen Sword, held captive by the Prince of Darkness, holds an ancient secret about the beginning of mankind. Only by revealing the flaws of evolution, can the sword be freed from its incarceration, and its enigma unlocked. The Sword holds truth and hope for the world, but the dark force will stop at nothing to keep it in its icy grip.

This book isn't just another story of good and evil, but an alluring tale which blends science, adventure and fantasy.

"I sincerely believe mankind is far too complex to have happened by chance," notes Taylor-Shipley. "But I found books on these subjects to be most often written for very advanced readers; hence, The Frozen Sword: Secret of the Veiled Power was born."

Aside from the clearly unique approach of tackling profound issues via literary fantasy, Patricia doesn’t hide the fact that she does indeed have an agenda with her book.

"I wrote this book, because for far too long, many children have had only evolution as an explanation for the beginning of mankind, and are not being told that Charles Darwin theory is just that——a theory with gaping flaws."

Most children will leave education, with little, if any, freedom, to truly evaluate how life began. This has the potential to shape their destiny for the rest of their life. Since 1859, Darwin’s theory of "Origins of the Species," has dominated the curriculum in high schools and universities, but unbeknown to millions of unsuspecting people, over the last fifty years within the hard sciences, this theory is now recognised, and has been proved, to be greatly flawed. However, it still remains the premise on which our children are being taught.

The subject of our creation is very emotionally charged, with parents removing their children from state schools in the US to ‘home school’, because they believe their children should be given the opportunity to appraise all theories not just the theory of evolution.

The purpose of this series of books is to equip parents and children and adults alike, with material that captures their imagination in fantasy, while opening up their minds to evaluate all possible explanations for us being here on this earth. Once we have the information, then we can make our own minds up.
