Cold-Case Christianity for Kids

November 5, 2016 Book Review Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

I was recently sent a copy of Cold-Case Christianity for Kids by J. Warner Wallace and Susie Wallace. I have previously reviewed (and recommended) two of Wallace’s earlier works, Cold-Case Christianity and God’s Crime Scene so I knew going in that I was likely to enjoy this book also.

This book takes the concepts from the original Cold-Case and sets them in a story about the training of some junior detectives. While the junior detectives learn principles about solving a mystery surrounding a skate-board, they also learn to apply those principles to Christian beliefs about Jesus Christ.

The story moves along well and there are many illustrations that are well done and very helpful.

You can find more information about this book and additional resources at www.coldcasechristianityforkids.com. There are videos and activities on the site that go along with the book.

Holly Ordway on obedience

“I learned that obedience also means trust that His will is best, whether I understand it or not, and that the One who had made Himself known to me will not ever forsake or betray me.”

Not of this world – Lessons from John 18:36

Lately I’ve been thinking about how the church should interact with the surrounding culture. In my country, society is moving rapidly away from the Judeo/Christian moral framework. Seemingly, every point of view is tolerated with the exception of an overtly Christian one. In response to this, it is not difficult to find “culture wars” rhetoric […]

Barnhouse on the Love of God

But we must not be confused into thinking that God is love apart from any other attribute. In fact, if you say that God is love without realizing that God is hate of sin, you have no gospel at all because you do not have God.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones on True Christians and the Sermon on the Mount

A comment made by Martyn Lloyd-Jones in the introduction to a collection of his sermons on the Sermon on the Mount is still relevant today. We need to be honest about the Church’s failures, repent and begin again.
