My Youngest (who at the moment hopes to become a police officer when he grows up), is very excited about a book we received in the mail a short while ago from Litfuse Publicity and David C. Cook Publishing. .Cold-Case Christianity for Kid is a kids' Christian Apologetics course wrapped up in detective clothing, proving the case for Christ.

J Warner Wallace is a real-life cold-case homicide detective who has been featured on Dateline, Fox News, Court TV and other crime related TV shows. He was an atheist until well into his 30's, but when he examined the evidence (using the tools of his trade), he discovered it pointed to an understanding that Christianity is "demonstrably true," and he turned his life over to Christ in 1996. Since then he has earned a masters in Theology, and serves as an adjunct professor at Biola University, and a faculty member at Summit Ministries, while still consulting on cold-case investigations.
Written for the 8-12 year old crowd, J Warner and his wife Susie Wallace have created an apologetics course through story, with CSI assignments, video messages from J. Warner, and printable activity and Cadet Notes sheets to print as well as an adult leader discussion guide. Their book is engaging and will spark the interest of any child who loves a good mystery and wants to know how to solve one. They will also pick up the tools needed to demonstrate the truth of the Word.
My son was hooked immediately by the premise, and although he moans and groans occasionally about filling out worksheets in his school work, he has been anxious to complete those that go along with this book! This photo was snapped without his knowledge, while he was actively engaged in the case.
