Case for a Creator for Kids (Case for… Series for Kids)

A great read for kids with questions about their faith. Even those who don’t have questions. Helps them to understand why they believe. Highly recommend.

This book is a part of a series that is engaging and is perfect for young readers!

I bought this for my nephews, but I read it first. It's a great, simplistic way to explain creation by a creator. It all boils down to this...1) You put your faith in the extremely unlikley odds it took for the earth to be inhabitable or...2) You put your faith in God and in His Word that he created it and it didn't happen by chance.

My 8 year old son recently began asking questions about God...then when we'd answer he began to have doubts. We are a Christian family and have raised him in the faith. He not only goes to a Christian school but we as a family really work with him daily in regards to his faith and ours. When he began to have doubts I was a little concerned. This book really turned him around by offering science and logic as explanations that there is a God. It was a book we walked through with him and explained things he had questions about. Overall he loved it, we loved it and while there's so many mysteries surrounding our creation this was a fantastic book for a kid who asks hard but really good questions about God.

Great for teaching kids biblical world viewI would definitely recommend the Case for Christ, Case for Faith, and Case for the Creator FOR KIDS! I got this series for my 9 year old son to help me with teaching him a biblical world view. Our public school system and media is so full of contradictory information, I want my son to rest firmly on the TRUTH! So I decided to find something he could read that would be on his level… We have started A Case for Christ together and he really seems to be enjoying it.If you are looking for other items to teach biblical world view, I also recommend The Answers Book For Kids Vol 1, 2 ,3, and 4. which has answers to 88 of their most difficult questions regarding the Bible, God, sin, dinosaurs, the Flood of Noah, salvation, and more!

A Creator: is there one? Did God create the universe? Or did it happen by chance or a natural process of some kind? Is there any merit to the big bang theory? And how do all these scientific ideas mesh with the Bible? Lee Strobel, Rob Suggs, and Robert Elmer set off on a journey to help kids discover the answers to these questions in their book CASE FOR A CREATOR FOR KIDS.This book is laid out similarly to the other titles in the CASE FOR KIDS series, CASE FOR FAITH FOR KIDS, CASE FOR CHRIST FOR KIDS, and CASE FOR GRACE FOR KIDS. Each chapter tackles a big picture question, using research, interviews with scholars and theologians, and logical arguments to answer some of the toughest questions kids face.Four main categories are explored here:- Cosmology, the study of how the universe was formed.- Physics, how things in the world work.- Astronomy, the study of things outside our planet.- DNA, the instruction manual for building proteins.In each category, Strobel takes time to ask some difficult questions that any kid who has been in a science class or watched any amount of Discovery channel may have come across: How did the universe begin? What are the odds that the universe simply came to be by chance? The arguments provided here are pretty straightforward for the 3rd - 5th grade age range, and will definitely spur on further conversation. Questions, definitions of terms, and further commentaries are set aside in helpful side bubbles that help to clarify main points.In the last section of the book, a collection of four stories relating to the main points discussed earlier in the book are included. These stories sometimes are hard to follow and very loosely introduce each topic to the reader. They would almost work better as a devotional before reading the chapter relating to the information mentioned briefly in the story. Questions and facts follow each short story and can provide some discussion points.CASE FOR A CREATOR FOR KIDS is probably one of the most succinct and easy to read / comprehend books on the topic of what really amounts to an argument for Intelligent Design. Interestingly, this book does not really tackle the topic of evolution. In fact, evolution is not even mentioned aside from a brief aside in one of the stories at the back end of the book. Strobel doesn't take time to argue specifically Creation vs. Evolution, but instead focuses on the origin of the universe -- either by chance or by design.This is another must have for any family with kids asking tough questions about what they're learning at school or church about the creation of the world.

I have an 8-year old daughter who we've always encouraged to think through beliefs. This past year we've wanted her to understand why our family believes certain tenants in the Christian faith. These books have been really helpful for her and have provided great discussion topics for our family. They're written for kids using their language, includes illustrations, stories and good questions to think about and discuss. We also have a good number of families and kids at our church that are not Christian but have questions that "The Case for..." series has really helped in processing. While the books come from a Christian background and is written by a leading Christian apologetics author, it's good for both religious and non-religious kids and families.

I bought this for my son who had questions relating to the topic. I skimmed through the book and think it looks excellent. However, my son didn’t ever read the book because in general, he’s not a big reader. Still, if your teenager enjoys reading, this is an excellent book!

Perfect for Kids

We bought this for my son's friend's 6th birthday. His parents are atheists but their son has started asking some questions about the origins of the universe and what happens after death so we hoped this would help answer some of those questions. As an adult it was easy to read in a day and useful for reaffirming how everything in creation points to our loving Creator, God of the Bible. Lee strobel puts points across in a clear manner that would get even adults thinking about these things!

Great book for kids, my son loves it

All books are learning and knowledge. Faith is important.
