As a parent, or an adult in church, you are going to get asked tough questions by kids. It would be best to ask yourself a question before that happens, “Where do I go to find answers?” Alex McFarland offers help for this question so that you can answer more questions in The 21 Toughest Questions Your Kids Will Ask About Christianity: & How to Answer Them Confidently.

He begins by saying this is not a go to book where you can search the table of contents and get the answer immediately. Instead, it is to help steer you in the right direction to find answers on your own. To be precise, it is to steer you to the Bible, where you will be able to find the answer to the 21 questions he outlines. He adds that there will be other questions, but the guidelines he offers will help you seek answers to those, too.

He covers many of the top questions children ask, including: how can God exist in three persons and be only one God, who do I pray to, why do Christians judge and is the Bible true? With each of the questions, he touches on the surface, and directs you to go to God and the Bible to go deeper.

The book tends to focus more on younger children, so you might have to change the presentation before you use it to help teens, but it gives a good place to start. I recommend it for parents, and anyone else who might be asked questions about Christianity.

I received a copy from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my review.
