This is a good intro to why creationism is valid. The case for a creator for kids is for 8-12 year olds, so if you have a mature child I'd suggest the teen edition rather than criticizing a book that is VERY clearly meant for beginner creationists. The simple terms helped my 8 year old grasp the concepts; and in our opinion, this is an EXCELLENT foundation for understanding the logic & importance of a world made by a creator.

A reporter asked baseball great Ted Williams the secret of successful hitting. Williams said that because he could squarely hit a round ball with a round bat he was a good hitter. Apologist Lee Strobel has performed a task almost as difficult in writing an apologetic book for children. And with this little book he hit the ball out of the park. Strobel's book "The Case for a Creator for Kids" provides children and families the rational tools to help them understand the truth that God is the Creator. Plus he equips kids to share that truth.

The author gives kids information on:
- Science in the public classrooms: How to discern the truth from error
- The implications of the Big Bang Theory
- How did God create the cosmos
- and much more kid-friendly information.

Very readable for your children and great for family devotions and instruction.

by Mike A Robinson author of the Children's apologetic book: "Who Made Truth? How Kids Can Prove That God Exists."

I read Case for Christ and Case for Faith. They are good books!
Looked for something that my children can read for their faith.
My sons love it! It is interesting at their level and in simple English.

I read some of this at a book store, and started to get physically ill from its nonsense. It moved me enough to actually write this.

Teaching children this is equivalent to child abuse. This is not educational.

Please do not ruin your child's young mind with this.

Just because evolution and the big bang are true doesn't mean there is no God. Christians can embrace reality :)

I read this book and I guess you could say I feel slightly offended. I wish that I could find a book that on Intelligent Design that speaks to people my age without assuming they have no prior knowledge of the topic: this suggests that we live out our childhood with our ears blocked and eyes closed. Any child raised in a Christian family will be somewhat aware of what going on. We don't need to hear about Mrs. Homily and Mr. Axiom; rather we need a bible in our hand and a mature argument in our minds. I have often been called upon to defend the account laid out in Genesis against adults who were far better informed. I would like a way to defend myself.



No offense meant. I realize I'm pretty mature for my age and not everyone in my age group can be expected to share these sentiments.

Amazon has two reviews of The case for a Creator for Kids, one 4-star and one 2-star.

First the 4-star:

++++++

Ok, anyone who says *creationism* is valid immediately gets my attention. This is clearly a parent who wants to force a religion on their kid, not educate them about religion. The logic and importance of a world made by a creator? The Scopes trial set conservative Christianity back for nearly 60 years. You think they would have learned.

and then...

here is the 2-star:
+++++

If Lee Strobel was a recognized scholar wouldn't other scholars have weighed in by now? The copyright is 2006, three years ago. The publishers says that the audience is 8-12 year old children.
