During the years I was raising my children, they did come & ask difficult questions about Christianity, faith & the church. Some questions were easier to answer than others. There were times I had to respond, “I don’t know but I will look for the answer & let you know.” Every parent needs to know that their children will ask questions. And every parent needs to know that they are fully capable of giving an answer whether or not they are a theologian.
In his book, The 21 Toughest Questions Your Kids Will Ask about Christianity: & How to Answer Them Confidently
- Why does God allow suffering?
- Why did Jesus have to die on the Cross?
- When I pray, who is listening?
- Are the miracles in the Bible true?
- Why are Christians such hypocrites?
In addition to the questions and answers, the author also gives discussion pointers and activity ideas that will help your children to grasp the answers & concepts.
In a world where there will be many voices vying for the attention of our children, may the voice of truth be the one they remember. May that truth come from parents that are equipped & ready. This is a great resource for anyone that works with children & youth as well.
Children are like wet cement. Any word that falls on them makes an impact. — Dr. Haim Ginott, Between Parent and Child

I received this book for free from Tyndale Publishers. I was not required to give a review but rather opted to give one as I found it to be a wonderful resource.
