About the Author: In 1999 Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hans Bluedorn decided to try to turn their interest in logic into a livelihood by starting Christian Logic.com. Since then, they have written two books on logic for children and adults, The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox. They have recently produced their first DVD, Logic in 100 Minutes.
