Case for Christ for Kids- Book Review

Bestselling Author Lee Strobel Helps Children Learn More about Their Faith and Understand the Bible in a New Devotional Book

New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel reveals he knows through experience that children are wrestling with questions about Jesus and the Christian faith at younger and younger ages. Further, misinformation and not being exposed to the Bible at an early age can often lead to a superficial faith that may crumble later in life.

That’s why Strobel penned CASE FOR CHRIST FOR KIDS: 90-DAY DEVOTIONAL (Zonderkidz; $9.99; October 2013). Inspired by the success of The Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation on the Evidence of Christ, the new book teaches kids aged 9-12 how to build a case for Christ in their lives that can stand up to challenges and help squelch doubt.

Strobel writes that Christianity isn’t just a list of religious rules, but a way for children to gain a deeper relationship with Jesus by following truths outlined in the Bible. CASE FOR CHRIST FOR KIDS contains 90 devotions derived from the Gospels, and encourages children to read one each day so they can apply it to their daily lives. It helps readers dig deeper into their faith with the “Examine the Case” section, which explains the importance of each devotion. “Final Word” contains an excerpt from an appropriate Scripture passage.

What’s most noteworthy about the book is how Strobel effortlessly caters each devotion to a relatable aspect of a child’s life—their love of hot dogs, cleaning their rooms, and even the Easter Bunny. This helps them learn how their faith impacts everything they do in every area of their lives.

Written in a friendly, conversational tone, CASE FOR CHRIST FOR KIDS includes historical facts, true stories, and biblical research that will captivate children. It is an essential book that strengthens their faith while it also provides answers to their toughest questions about God.

My Review:

My children are not quite at the age that this book is geared for but since I do have my church kids this is perfect for a few of them. I believe it is the church's and parents job to help build a solid foundation for our children so they can have the confidence to stand up for CHRIST. When they take ownership and identify who they are in Christ there will be victory! I firmly believe that this nice devo is going to help kids go a step further in their thinking and help make Christianity not just talked about or done on Sundays at church but a true way to live all the time.

I am excited to offer this book to my kids in a few more years when they are facing more challenges of the worlds pressures. I know we are currently developing great habits and a love for being in God's word and in general of spending time with HIM and soaking in His love!

This book will also be a great tool to many Sunday school classrooms who might have "newer" believers helping out who might not know how to answer some of the harder questions. WHAT AN AWESOME TOOL TO HAVE!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
