I've read a couple of J. Warner Wallace's books—I'd describe them as apologetics for the common man (or child, depending on the title). Last year, I was pretty impressed by Cold-Case Christianity for Kids, so I was eager to read his latest children's release, God's Crime Scene for Kids.
Hone your reasoning skills as you investigate evidence in the universe to determine the most reasonable cause for everything we see in creation.
In this companion to Cold-Case Christianity for Kids, Jason uncovers a mystery in his grandmother's attic. He and his friends, Hannah, Daniel and Jasmine, enlist the help of Detective Jeffries at the Jr. Detective's Academy. Along the way, they develop the skills needed to investigate the mystery and the evidence of God's existence. The cadets learn logical-thinking skills as they examine the contents of a mysterious box and the vast universe.
In God's Crime Scene for Kids, real-life detective J. Warner Wallace shows kids ages 8 to 12 what skills are needed to solve Jason's mystery, and at the same time looks at evidence in the universe that demonstrates God is the creator. Ultimately, kids will learn how to make their own case for God's existence.
As they did in Cold-Case Christianity for Kids, J. Warner Wallace and Susie Wallace have created an engaging mystery for children which, in this case, also helps the reader to think critically about the creation of the world and the existence of God.
In God's Crime Scene for Kids, the junior detectives (and kids who read the book) investigate a mysterious box that Jason found in his attic. As they try to determine how the box got there and what the items in the box mean, they also learn how to think critically about creation, evolution, and the presence of a creator.
The book has lots of opportunities for interaction within its pages, and there's also a website with videos and activity pages for each chapter. This would be a great book for families to go through together, and I also think it would work well for Sunday school. It's entertaining, logical, and easy to understand, and I think it's a great resource! 5 stars.
