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

Reading this to my 8 year old son. Lays out the arguments great. Gives good examples.

Great apologetics book for kids! The entire series is wonderful!

Good story gave me an easier view on christianity. I know this book was writen for kids and as an adult I find I understand christianity better.

Great for kids with questions! Shows them it's ok to ask.

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.

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 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!

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!

Perfect for Kids

The book is really informational. It provided me questions for those who may question my faith in a creator. It gave me an idea that it's a very low chance to a big bang to bring this universe into existence. This is the review of my son who read this book.

Good read with good explanations.. Good for 7 years plus. Interesting read for myself too!

Great book for kids, my son loves it
