"Talking with Your Kids about Jesus" is a must-have for all Christian parents! It addresses the most important challenges you and your children will face about Jesus's identity, teachings, death, and resurrection, as well as the difference he makes in a person's life.

Are you prepared to respond to the claims that Jesus never claimed to be God? That he never performed miracles? That ancient people only believed in miracles because they were ignorant and gullible? That Jesus isn't really the only way to God?

Are you silenced from sharing truth when people say, "Don't judge!"? What do you say when people claim that Jesus's death was an example of divine child abuse, and that God is a blood-thirsty, vengeful monster?

Do you know how to present a compelling case for the resurrection using only a handful of facts that most scholars of every religious persuasion believe?

In this book, Natasha Crain answers these challenges and many more in a way that is accessible to all, including those with no background in apologetics. I know many people who have avoided books on apologetics because they think it's too hard for them, but I challenge anyone who believes that to read this book and then make that claim. This book demonstrates that the study of apologetics doesn't have to be confined to ivory tower academics or seminary-trained theology nerds:)

And yet there is much to be gained from this book even for those who are well-read in apologetics. I have a seminary degree and have read dozens of books on Christian apologetics, but even so I found new and useful information in this book, including discussion questions to prepare for and initiate productive conversations about the evidence for Jesus with children (and adults) of all ages.

As with any book, the more a person puts into this book, the more they will get out of it. If someone reads quickly through it once and never gives it a second thought, they may remember some important points. But if this information is new to you, you will get a lot more out of it by going slowly through it a few times in order to really learn it.

The challenges against Christianity are not strong, but they are prevalent and they are mainstream now. It is our responsibility and privilege as Christians to be prepared to make a defense for the hope that we have (1 Peter 3:15). This book, in addition to Natasha Crain's other two books, will help equip you to do just that.
