It is never too early to start teaching kids Christian Apologetics and critical thinking. For all the parents and grandparents who have asked which apologetics materials I recommend for parents and kids, I have put together this brief list. I will continue to update it. 
And in case you are wondering why kids need apologetics, read this great article by my good friend Hillary Morgan Ferrer, "Why Your Children DO Need Apologetics: Correcting Misconceptions."
(Note: this list does not include many apologetics books. These are specific for parents and kids.)

"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem." Matthew 2:1 OK, I know I'm not too savvy when it comes to geography, but I really didn't know Bethlehem was sooooo close to Jerusalem. Yesterday we took a day trip to visit the site where tradition says Jesus was born. It was so very interesting in many ways. First we met with some Palestinian believers and had some good fellowship over lunch.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much new building was taking place, beautiful buildings. I saw many sign with "U.N." on them. When I asked about the signs, I was told it has to do with...

Where is our Focus?

First, we remember that our God is good, all the time. He is sovereign, which means He is in control of everything that happens. That is not to say that God causes everything to happen, because God cannot cause evil. However, God does allow bad things to happen becaus...
