In today's world, our children are bombarded by teaching and messages that argue against what the Bible teaches. It is hard as parents to not only counter this, but teach kids to defend the Bible in an understandable way to their own friends. The Way of the Master for Kids is such a tool for handling the difficult questions that arise, as well as laying a sound foundation for salvation.

Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, co-hosts of the television (and now radio) program also titled "Way of the Master," begin by writing an open letter to parents, encouraging them to "prepare our children to stand strong in their faith in spite of our secular culture." They then proceed to explain how to do so using this book.

With simple and colorful artwork, the first half of the book is for preschool-age kids. It begins in the Garden of Eden, going through the introduction of sin, how we received the Ten Commandments, and then describes each command. Every page contains large-sized text, an illustration, and then below is a smaller quotation from the Bible that reinforces the point. This section wraps up by explaining that Jesus came to take our punishment for not following the laws, how to be saved, and the hope of Heaven.

The next portion of the book is dedicated to elementary school kids, and is singular in its presentation of youth apologetics. Before reading this, I was unconvinced that such young minds would be capable of understanding the arguments for the existence of God, the fallacies of evolution, and why bad things happen. Comfort and Cameron treat their young readers with respect, giving ample yet clear information that answers a myriad of questions that naturally cross curious intellects.

The Way of the Master for Kids is a book that needs to be on every family bookshelf, and read over and over until it is committed to memory. It gives assurance of salvation, and is an invaluable tool for combating the secular thinking of our postmodern culture. Don't buy just one copy, this is a book that must be shared. - Anne Walker, Christian Book Previews.com

I bought this book for my grandchildren ages 3 and 5. It's an age appropriate book to teach God's truths.

The Book has two parts. The first one is an overview of the Bible. This is beautifully done and shows the most important parts. The second part helps you teach your children how to defend their faith.

This book is a great outline of the Bible and really helps you understand the entire Bible. It is great to help your kids defend their faith. The book is simple to read and gives great arguments.

Every Christian Parent should buy this book. If you want your Child to be soundly saved read this book to your kids.

I loved this book. It is a great way to keep the interest of young children, while you present the gospel. Informative and on their level. They asked for it over and over.

I totally love the Way of the Master series, and think it is "THE" way to witness to the lost. That said, this book is good, but not quite what I expected. The first part is basically the way of the master repeated again in kiddy form, i.e. the 10 commandments with pictures, I already have that. The second part of the book is what I wished the whole book was like. It has questions like " how do i know God exist", and then gives several pages of answers in kiddy form, so you can talk with and teach your kids and class how to respond to unbelievers! Loved it. There are perhaps 6-7 questions in the second half. Perhaps next time they can do a whole book that asks these hard questions that kids will be faced with and give good solid answers!
All in all, if you have never read the way of the master stuff and want to teach your kids, this book is for you!!

The Way of the Master for Kids is an excellent book to help kids (and adults)see the simplicity in sharing the Gospel message.
But even more than the Gospel, it also helps them show their friends that there really is a God.
The book is divided into two sections - one for younger kids and another for older kids.
My four kids (ages 3,6,9,12) each sat and listened raptly.
I highly recommend this book!

This is hands down the best Chritian children's book. My 4 yro and 2 yro love it. This book does not water down the Gospel but presents it on a childs level. A must for every Christian family.

Of course this book will be great! What do you expect from Way Of The Master? Nothing less!
If you have children and you really are serious then you will get this for them!
Any parent who is serious & at least loves their child would get this for them.

I love this book. It explains sin and why Jesus died for us and why we have the 10 commandments in a kid friendly way. There's a section for smaller children and a section for older children. They included a cool way to remember the 10 commandments so children will visually remember them and learn them-it helped me too! We have them down pat now!

I was delighted to see that Ray and Kirk have embarked on a book that will teach the children how to become closer to Jesus.

Though I think Ray may have made a misstep and not had any idea of the subtext that he was portraying with him handling a banana so adeptly on the cover. Anyone who's thinking what I think they're thinking has a dirty mind and are going to where the devil lives and demons will stick them with pitchforks and it will be so hot you'll be all like "where am I? downtown Phoenix in August?"

I was once on a plane and the woman next to me was all full of tattoos and earrings and she said the she worshipped the devil and would I want to come to her dark church. I said "no way" and then I pulled out my banana and her and I just hit it off the rest of the flight. I don't need to tell you we got very close to seeing God in the airplane restroom. Though it was a bit cramped.

I think Ray comes off the pages here in the most fully dimensional we've all seen and I hope I get to meet Ray one day in an airplane lavatory or maybe down where the devil lives.

And Kirk, please let me know if you are still with your wife. She's gorgeous.
