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...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
