Crain Natasha - Talking with your kids about God: 30 conversations every Christian parent must have

My prayer is that God will use this book to both motivate and equip you to help your kids develop convictions about their faith.

From the foreword by Sean McDowell, PhD, Biola University professor, speaker, and author of more than eighteen books, including A New Kind of Apologist

I cant think of a more relevant or more needed book for parents raising kids in todays culture. This book on apologetics will lead parents in critical conversations that will help grow and guide kids to be lifelong followers of Christ.

Kristen Welch, author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World

Hey parents: Do you want to reduce the chances that your child will follow the crowd to the point of rejecting Christ and the values and truths you hold so dearly? Then you need to have the conversations that Natasha Crain so brilliantly describes in this book. Prevent heartbreak later by reading and heeding this book now!

Frank Turek, PhD, president of CrossExamined.org and author of I Don t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist and Stealing from God

Heres my suggestion for this smart, funny, honest, and practical book: read each chapter carefully. Then read it again (theyre short). Then pray that your kids ask questions about God. If within five minutes they do not, ask them the questions listed at the end of each chapter. May this book lead to thousands more moms and dads engaging with their kids through an intelligent faith. And may there be tens of thousands more kids who feel loved because the adults in their lives take their questions seriously.

Jeff Myers, PhD, president, Summit Ministries

I am a veteran of dinner-table and long-car-ride conversations with my kids about key issues in theology, philosophy, and apologetics. Im a huge fan of doing this. Ive seen how it can cause anti-Christian arguments from skeptics to roll off my kids because they have already heard some of the best arguments for Christianity. It is a lost art, but not lost on Natasha Crain. She is my go-to person on how to train parents and engage kids on these topics of eternal importance. Buy a case of her books and pass them around to other parents and grandparents you know. Then, put it all into practice and watch what God does. It might be the most important thing you can do with your kids in a wildly skeptical age. It turns out that Christianity is true, and our arguments are solid. We and our kids need to be equipped. Thank you, Natasha, for giving us such a wonderful resource to help us all to do the job.

As an evangelist who spends much of my time talking with those who have doubts and questions about Godand as the father of two young childrenI highly recommend Talking with Your Kids about God . Not least because the questions kids ask are often some of the deepest and most honest, but also because if we dont answer their questions, theyre going to conclude there are no answers and walk away at the first opportunity. Natasha has written a fantastic tool to equip parents to talk honestly with their kids, to listen properly, to ask good questions, and to help them see that theres only one good reason to be a Christiannot because mum or dad believe it, but because its true.

Talking with Your Kids about God is an outstanding resource for equipping parents with the techniques and knowledge they need to have effective conversations with their children about the truths of Christianity. Natasha Crain has done an extraordinary job of distilling a large body of material into readable and interesting chapters that can be tackled by topic. As a scholar in the field of science and religion, I was particularly impressed with her treatment of the scientific issues that intersect with the Christian faith. Ill be recommending her book to every parent I know.

Are there any books out there that can help me? I can now answer both questions with one answer: this book.

In a world thats increasingly skeptical about Christianity, our kids need to understand what they believe and why.
