Case for Faith for Kids (Case for… Series for Kids)

Got this book because I had problems reading and understanding the adult version. It’s easy to read and understand.

Aprox 3rd to 5th grade level, depends on maturity of child. My 12 yr olds already past this learning level. Wished I had this book when the kids were still at the skeptical phase of learning. However, we used this as a stepping research level to dig deeper into our Bible reading.

Good

Really good for my 10 year old granddaughter with lots of questions. Clearly explains who Jesus is on a level for 8 to teens.

I would definitely recommend the Case for Christ, Case for Faith, and Case for the Creator FOR KIDS! I got this series for my 9 year old son to help me with teaching him a biblical world view. Our public school system and media is so full of contradictory information, I want my son to rest firmly on the TRUTH! So I decided to find something he could read that would be on his level… We have started A Case for Christ together and he really seems to be enjoying it. If you are looking for other items to teach biblical world view, I also recommend The Answers Book For Kids Vol 1, 2 ,3, and 4. which has answers to 88 of their most difficult questions regarding the Bible, God, sin, dinosaurs, the Flood of Noah, salvation, and more!

As a children's pastor, I often get asked for resources that can help families go deeper when their kids ask some tough questions. So when I was asked about a book that might help a family talk about miracles together, I found CASE FOR FAITH FOR KIDS by Lee Strobel, Rob Suggs, and Robert Elmer. This book takes the basic ideas from CASE FOR FAITH and simplifies them to the point where a 3rd - 5th grader might be better able to understand the conversations, questions, and logical arguments behind faith. There are a few main questions asked here, such as: - Why would a good God allow bad things? - Does science mean miracles can't happen? - Can other religions get us into heaven? - Can I have doubts and still be a Christian? The answers provided to these questions are well-researched and include conversations with scholars and theologians including Peter Kreeft, Bill Craig, and Ravi Zacharias. The discussion are not trite or dismissive of hard questions and hard truths. Strobel dives in to some of the most difficult aspects of these questions while still keeping things at kid-level. There are some basic assumptions made here however. For instance, during the discussion of the problem of evil in the world, Strobel takes the theological stance that people have free will, and does not deal with the topics of predestination and predetermination. I didn't find this to be a problem necessarily, but parents should be aware of the framework from which Strobel view these questions. The last section of the book contains four short stories that deal loosely with the topics presented in the first half of the book. These stories seemed a little confusing to follow, and I hard time keeping straight what exactly was happening in each one. However, they could be used to help a kid begin the conversations the first half of the book lays out in more detail. Throughout the book are discussion questions you can have with your child, which I found extremely helpful and on point. The questions asked are good ones that will help the conversation continue far after the book is finished. There are even a couple activities that help to reinforce the points made that could be done as a family. At the end of the day, CASE FOR FAITH FOR KIDS is a great little book that really is a primer on apologetics for kids asking some of the toughest questions. Filled with Scripture, research, and questions and activities, this is really a must have for any family.

My daughter can’t put it down we read together and discuss I bet more adults would get something out of this book also

Fantastic for kids and the questions they have about faith. I wish I would have had something like this for all of my questions as I was growing up. Sometimes as a kid, you are afraid to ask adults about your doubts and questions because of worrying that they may not think you believe so I think this great for having the conversation early.
