Apologetics for kids! Excellent!
This entire book series for kids is amazing. I bought the first book to use as a Study with my two kids ages eight and 10. But is soon as I started looking through the book I realized this would also make an awesome homeschool co-op class. So I saved it and waited and taught it to 12 kids ranging in age from 8 to 13. The information taught is done in such a great way and at an age appropriate level for them to totally understand. It goes along with the same information that is taught in the adult book. And the helpful information on the website is awesome so that parents can study the correlating chapters to go along with what their kids are reading about. Perfect for individuals at home or a group to do together.
Creation Investigated...God on Trial
J. Warner & Susie Wallace have put a lot of work into educating adults in the reliability of Scripture. However, may God bless them for not leaving the children out! Realizing the importance of intellectually stimulating a kids view of Scripture, and providing them with legitimate and solid answers will go a long way in giving kids a solid foundation for their faith to rest. J. Warner Wallace has written quite often about the tragic numbers of "Christian students" who "leave the faith" by the time they hit their third year in college. Not satisfied with those numbers, J. Warner & Susie have set out to make a difference with God's Crime Scene. Going to great lengths to provide an interesting storyline, attractive graphics and free supplemental "Kids Academy" resources on their website (coldcasechristianity.com), the Wallace's are being used greatly by the Lord in the lives of future generations. This book does not disappoint.
Written the way a kid's book should be written
I found myself more than happy with this purchase. Not only is the book great at explaining what evidence is; but it has FREE online videos, handouts, and even a Leader's (parent!) guide. What child wouldn't want to become a detective? This shows them how to in a cadet academy that is fun and instructional. A lot of time and effort went into this one. I wish every kid's book was written this way. I recommend it.
Strongly Recommend Getting The Book
I use this book for an apologetics class at our co-op, the book was excellent. Characters in the book help teach students how to explore evidence and to use detective thinking skills to solve a mystery while giving them the ability to understand their faith and defend it. The printouts and additional materials offered on the web site make it easy and fun. I plan to implement all three of his books for future classes.
Great resource for teaching kids about the Creator!
This is a great resource for teaching kids about the universe and the Creator in a fun and creative way. The story line is believable and engaging. The illustrations are clear and helpful. The content is just what I was looking for to lead a retreat for my Middle School age youth. Highly recommended!
The skill to be learned here is actually useful as kids learn to think for themselves
Shows how kids can do investigative problem solving. The skill to be learned here is actually useful as kids learn to think for themselves. The book has simple illustrations that point out the concept clearly. I wish I have this book when I was a kid.
Engaging the whole child
This was a great read but more importantly, this book is designed to engage the whole child in learning the bible. Teachers and pastors, youth group leaders if you want to see your kids fully engaged and excited about learning and actually integrating what they have learned into their lives then this book is exactly what you are looking for. I encourage you to purchase a copy, you will not be disappointed and you yourself will learn from it as well. Its worth far exceeds its price.
Grateful to have resources like these at my fingertips to help guide my children ...
Thank you for this book! Grateful to have resources like these at my fingertips to help guide my children in Apologetics. Love your past history in crime scene analysis, and the fact that you were an atheist before discovering the truth. Book is easy to read for kids, understandable, and hard to wait until the next chapter - my boys wanted to read it all in one day!
Great Information for Youth to Have
There are undeniable facts and evidence in the universe that we live in that indicate the presence of a Creator, that is Intelligent, Personal and Creative. Our children need to know these evidences, so to ensure their faith in God is not vain. This book is a great way to get our youth thinking critically about these evidences and the sure to come attacks against these truths. Highly recommended book.
Excellent children’s book
I enjoyed the adult version so much that I bought the children’s version for my oldest. She is 9 and was able to read and comprehend the material. I am so glad that books like this one exist for the education of children.
