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 fourth grade 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 an issue like evil and suffering. The information here was a great starter, and then the parent can come in and add his/her own life experiences to the mix. 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 some of the harder questions people ask about Christianity? This is the place to start in obedience to the command the apostle gave us in 1 Peter 3:15-16.

The Children's Edition of The Case for Faith analyses many of the same topics as the adult version. This little book discusses the truth found in the biblical worldview in a simple-to-understand way.

At a child's level Strobel sets forth the following subjects:

- The reason evil is in the world and that evil doesn't disprove God

- One can believe that Miracles occurred even in the age of science

- The reason Jesus Christ is the only way to God

- The afterlife and hell

This short book is a wonderful resource for Christian parents and it will help strengthen the faith of your young dear-ones. Simple to read, outstanding information.
