Brian Shepherd has provided a serious yet very
readable book of Earth’s age, carefully showing how to calculate (and
how to not calculate) that timeframe. Because popular voices and crowd
noises forcefully promote tales of evolutionary origins, humanistic “old
earth” assumptions are soundly critiqued, with explanatory proofs of
Earth’s relatively young age (i.e., thousands of years old, not
billions), to remove excuses for accommodating evolutionary timescales.
This book of Scripture, logic, and relevant scientific evidences will
clarify the thinking of serious Christians, worldly Christians, and even
non-Christians, if they have “eyes [willing] to see” the truth about
just how old Earth really is. The Appendix alone, on the authenticity
and preservation of our Bible’s text, is worth the price of the book!

Most individuals have no idea that the age of the earth can be
calculated by the evidence revealed in proper Bibles, that have been
translated from texts preserved by the mighty hand of God. Furthermore,
they don’t know that many Bible manuscripts have been altered by
humanists, resulting in corrupted texts. This book, Proving the Age of
the Earth, by Brian Shepherd, will help numerous misled people to make a
paradigm shift in their understanding of these issues. Every proponent
of evolution and every secular institution should acquire a copy and
read it carefully. Also, every pastor, teacher, missionary, and lay
person should have it available for those questioning Truth. This is the
best book we have published in a while.

Reading Brian Shepherd’s Proving the Age of the Earth brings a clear
understanding of the subject that is much needed today. Brian’s
passionate devotion to the King James Bible, combined with his
scholarship and thorough documentation, has produced a book that is
readable, true to Scripture and theologically sound.

It is a brave man, these days, who dares to challenge the evolutionary
view of the age of the earth. But Brian Shepherd, a graduate of ICR’s
School of Biblical Apologetics (SoBA) and the author of this present
book, not only challenges that view, but does it with a competence and
ability that is rarely met with. In fourteen chapters, he takes the
reader through a wide sweep of all the evidences that cry out that our
earth is nothing like as old as it is pretended to be by evolutionists,
and he does it very well. Proving the Age of the Earth should be
required reading for any and all who would investigate this fascinating
subject.

I am glad to have read this much-needed book by Brian Shepherd on the
age of the earth. He has based his conclusions on two important and
accurate sources: (1) properly interpreted chronology and truths from
the King James Bible which is based on the preserved Traditional Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Greek Words that underlie it, and (2) properly interpreted
facts from the physical world.
