Don't Check Your Brains at the Door: Know What You Believe and Why
By Josh McDowell and Bob Hostetler

This is an incredible book for all ages. It is primarily geared for teens and preteens but is a great read for young believers in the faith as well. The book deals with the many questions the skeptics, unbelievers, or young believers have about God, Jesus, the Bible, and the exclusive claims of the Bible. The book is written in a fun and engaging way with many stories to help illustrate the points and explain otherwise sometime difficult questions.

I encourage every parent to purchase or borrow this book. I would suggest that parents read it first and then go through it with you kids to help them grow in their faith and understanding of what we believe. It will also be a helpful guide for them to use (or parents) to answer the difficult questions from their peers as they witness to them.

Here is the excerpt from the back of the book.
"Don't Check Your Brains at the Door gives you answers that make sense to the toughest of questions. Internationally known defender of the faith Josh McDowell and co-author Bob Hostetler lace clarity with humor to expose common myths about God, the Bible, religion, and life and show how Christianity stands up to the test of fact and reason.
Become equipped to answer questions like:
-Is God a cosmic cop out to squelch fun and happiness?
-Did writers of the Bible stretch facts into legends?
-Is Christianity the only way to reach God?
-Jesus was a good teacher, but can anyone prove his resurrection?"

Don't let your kids become mindless mimics and drones of the world and not know what they believe or why they believe it! Help them grow in knowledge and in truth.
