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.
J. Warner Wallace has hit it out of the park with his newest book God’s Crime Scene for Kids. The second in his apologetic series for kids, the book reads like a fiction story, but each chapter teaches the reader new investigative skills that help them to examine Christianity from a new perspective.
I love that this book is such a short, easy read. The detective vocabulary is in bold print with definition bubbles off to the side. The many pictures give it a friendly feel, and the accompanying printables and videos make the book even easier to understand – and to teach, too.
God’s Crime Scene for Kids may be short, but that doesn’t make it watered down or a preschooler’s book, either. With real life detective strategies, real vocabulary words, and a deep premise (how did the universe come to be?), this book is real and deep. The best part is that it teaches kids how to think in those real and deep ways so that they can examine the Bible and their own faith to see if it holds up to the test.
Wallace has created neat resources to accompany the book itself, too. There are videos and pages to download for each chapter, as well as a printable certificate upon completion of the book (and the course). With all of those resources, it should be easy for an adult to use these resources, along with the book, to teach a Bible study or detective class.
I love these resources! They are deep, kid-friendly, and easy to use. I’m definitely going to be using God’s Crime Scene for Kids with my own family.
