Rating: Summary: Great teaching tool Review: I found this book to be a wonderful teaching tool for my high school Sunday school class. This book has the information you need to show the kids what the fundamentals of the Christian faith are and it backs everything up with Scriptures. It also has some great questions for the kids to answer that requires them to look up Bible verses and then think a little. I am giving this book as a gift to all of my graduating seniors this year.
Rating: Summary: Excellent beginning apologitics! Review: I've used this for my high school Sunday school class. It's an excellent work for students and others wishing a basic grasp of why Christianity is historically provable. People may reject Christ because they do not wish to be accountable to a Living God, but after looking at the evidence, at least they have to admit that the facts are there. The resurrection did happen.Anything by McDowell will be great additional reading. Also the novel "Hillcrest Journal" is a great read for students and parents. It helps to open the door to thinking about where one is heading in life--an excellent novel for Christians and non-Christians.
Rating: Summary: Good Basic Apologetics For High Schoolers Review: If you are trying to find a good primer for apologetics for your youth ministry, this is THE book. In simple language, McDowell explains many of the myths about Christianity. The chapters on the person of Christ are particularly exceptional. Through chapters like, "Is God A Vending Machine" and "Plastic Jesus" the credibility of the claims of Christ and who He is as a whole person are explored. If you want to challenge your teens to understand their faitha s they live it, this is the book to buy.
Rating: Summary: Great for a teen-age audience Review: McDowell hits home with youth by presenting apologetic ideas in an easy-to-understand mini-devotional. I have recommended this book to my high school students for five years now, and many have really enjoyed it. (Those who didn't enjoy it said it was too simple, so I merely recommended that they read Strobel's The Case for Christ/The Case for Faith--student editions. For the hard core who feel these are still too easy, I recommend Lewis' Mere Christianity.) I just gave the book to my fourth-grade daughter, and in a month she has completed half of it with comprehension, meaning that it probably will not work too well with a post-teen audience. But for those teens who do want to know more about their faith, this is a great place to start.
Rating: Summary: A Great Book to Confirm Your Faith! Review: This book approaches many of the doubts that Christians may have, as well as many of the questions that non-Christians may have. It is in an easy-to-read, amusing format. I am 14 and I love this book because it is so entertaining, and faith building at the same time. I recommend this book to all teens that struggle with myths about the Bible and their faith.
Rating: Summary: not very conclusive Review: This book backs up its claims with Bible verses its like saying the Bible is true because the Bible says so. It won't sway anyone
Rating: Summary: A Great Book to Confirm Your Faith! Review: This book can be used for personal growth, and the questions/references at the end of each chapter make it a useful tool for youth groups. Great general knowledge about false religions, cults, and other lame arguments that can (and will) be thrown at you during your Christian walk. Recommended for non-Christians and Christians alike.

Rating: Summary: Teenage tested and approved Review: This book caught my eye and I got a copy for my boys. My thirteen-year-old son has already worked throught the whole thing and my fifteen-year-old is working on it now, both completely on their own initiative. The content addresses some of the questions/arguments Christians may have or encounter from friends who are not like-minded in faith. Highly recommended as a devotional guide that will hit the spot with teenage boys.
