In an age when our kids are being bombarded with anti-Christian messages at an earlier age than in times past, it's more important than ever for parents to instill a strong faith in them; and not just a strong faith, but also a clear, rational understanding for why they we should believe in Christianity, as opposed to any other faith out there. This book is loosely based on the classic "The Case for Christ", by Lee Strobel, possibly one of the 10 best Christian books I've ever read, This is a kids version of the book, for children aged 8-12, and I highly recommend it. I wish it were a bit longer, since I felt that there's a lot more stuff from the adult version that they could have put in this book, but that's my only real complaint. But all in all, this book is worth every penny. Grab it. You'll be doing your kid(s) a favor. I'd recommend you get this along with "The Case for a Creator for Kids" by the same author. Those with older kids might want to check out the version for teenagers: "The Case for Christ -- Student Edition"
Get those kids started on their own faith early

I appreciate the fact that Lee Strobel and Zondervan are marketing a very good book idea to both teens (the "student" edition) and children. We sometimes take for granted that our kids are not thinking people, but they really are. The information presented here is, in simplest form, the same basic information Strobel originally wrote in the adult book. But cartoons, graphics, and an easy-to-understand language make the basic concepts very palatable for even the younger readers. I would recommend this book for Christian kids under 10. If they are between 10-15, I recommend the "Student" edition. And over 15, if possible, I say go for the original book, because there are certain facts left out in these early-version books that the adult version does a very good job covering. My [...] daughter has devoured all three of the "kids" books and seemed to really enjoy them. It gave us some places to have important conversations on why we believe in the Jesus as described in the Bible. It's like the old car repair commercial used to say: You can pay us now or pay us later. However, if you wait until your kids are all grown up before getting them to think on their own, it might end up being too late once secular humanist teachers and professors have their day with your children. Why not start them out now on understanding who the person of Jesus really is? This is the place to start.
