Apologetics for a New Generation - Sean McDowell - General Editor

I found this book on the current release section at the public library and thought it sounded interesting. It's important as parents that we help our kids form a Biblical worldview before sending them into a world full of questions.

Back of Books Says:

“I feel so lost…I’m not sure what I believe anymore. Can you help me?”

For every teenager or college-age person who shares these thoughts, many more hide similar feelings inside. This generation’s faith is constantly under attack from the secular media, skeptical teachers, and unbelieving peers. You may wonder, How can I help?

His first-rate team of contributors, including Dan Kimball, Josh McDowell, and Brian Godawa, shows how you can help members of the new generation plant their feet firmly on the truth. Find out how you can walk them through the process of…

· Formulating a biblical worldview and applying scriptural principles to everyday issues.
· Articulating their questions and addressing their doubts in a safe environment
· Becoming confident in their faith and effective in their witness

The truth never gets old, but people need to hear it in fresh, new ways. Find out how you can effectively share the answers to life’s big questions with a new generation.

Evidence for the Resurrection by Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell

This is a book on my to read list like so many others. I feel inadequate at times when people ask some of these hard questions. Skimming through this book and Lee Strobel's book, The Case for the Real Jesus, I have found some great information. Check out these books to learn more.

Back of Book Says:


Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

When Jesus died on the cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man’s tomb, Jesus appeared… alive! The news was so shocking that his followers refused to believe it until they saw him with their own eyes and touched his wounds with their own hands. Then Jesus made an amazing claim: In the future, they would have resurrected bodies like his, bodies that would never deteriorate, age or perish. They would have new life without death or pain, in the presence of a loving God forever.

But can we believe his promise? For that matter, can we really believe that the promise was made by a man who rose from the dead? In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean invite you to examine the compelling and abundant evidence that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave. And they challenge you to answer this question: If Jesus rose from the dead 2,000 years ago, what does it mean for me today?

Jesus: Dead or Alive?: Evidence for the Resurrection Teen Edition by Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell

Great book for teens and pre-teens who want to research the facts about Jesus' resurrection with Josh and Sean McDowell.

Back of Book Says:

You’ve never seen anybody come back to live after being dead for three days. Nobody you know has ever seen anybody come back to life after being dead for three days. But that doesn’t mean it’s never happened.

No one debates the fact that a Jewish peasant named Jesus was put to death in Palestine 2,000 years ago, but there’s been plenty of debate ever since about what happened next. Two thousand years of believing Christians have never seen anybody come back to life after being dead for three days, that’s exactly what happened: Jesus rose from the grave (not like in a zombie movie – he was really alive). Now you can see for yourself the evidence that has persuaded hundreds of millions of people for a couple thousand years… and you can find out why (if it really happened) Jesus’ resurrection changes everything.
