Robert Eby: I liked this book because it was comprehensive in its content. It covers a lot of very important topics, adds keypoints and conversation guides at the end of each chapter. I like the easy of read this book was, and how well the author was able to convey her message. I found it very digestible and very helpful in gaining material to start up conversations with not just "kids" (children) yet with anyone. Starting from the universe and going to what should we make of evil, what is our responsibility to others, why does the Bible matter, and many more. Short chapters that are quick to read. This is a first rate book. I have bought this book on ebook and in paper back. For me this is one of my top shelf books that I will refer to over and over. I have read both of her books and she is a great writer, inspiring and encouraging. I recommend this book, it really helps and is very informative.

Faith4Life: I was asked in a book study forum what my three favorite chapters were in this book, and I had to say, I have a very difficult time narrowing it down to just three :). For me, each chapter offers a clear, concise, substantive response to questions that I’ve had to grapple with as they’ve been lobbed in my direction by people very close to me. In many ways, it’s as though Natasha had taken the threads of thoughts that had been dangling in my mind and wove them into a cohesive whole, creating the fabric for conversations I’ve needed to have with my loved ones. I’ve appreciated every opportunity to think through my responses to the skeptic questions posed at the end of each chapter as I’ve been forced to process and synthesize all the things I’ve been learning and reading and attempt to articulate it with clarity and purpose. That exercise has truly been a gift and has been an answer to an urgent need in this season of life.

Some of the biggest takeaways for me….
-we may not have all the answers we want, but we do have all the answers we need to make a decision about the existence of God
-both believers and unbelievers are looking at the same body of...

Mrs A McQuiston: A great resource for anyone to use when talking to people about Jesus. Chapters short. Reading challenging as you actually have to do some thinking and action for yourself. Well laid out and difficult subjects broken down to make them more understandable.

Eric Chabot: Several years ago, I discovered the work on Natasha Crain online. She has a very successful blog called Christian Mom Thoughts. I have gotten to know Natasha over the last few years and I am so happy to see the publication of her second book Talking with Your Kids about God: 30 Conversations Every Christian Parent Must Have.

As someone who leads campus apologetic ministries on two college campuses (The Ohio State University (64,000 students) and Columbus State Community College (30,000) students, I am always interested to see people who provide apologetic resources for families. After all, I have had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of students about the existence of God and I can tell when someone didn’t get their questions answered before they got to college.

So I am happy to say Natasha’s book does an excellent job of asking the right discussion topics/questions for parents and their kids. I can say without hesitation that nearly all of the topics in this book are the same questions students wrestle with on a college campuses. The chapters are short and concise. But because of the length of the chapters and accessibility, it makes them easy for parents to...

Enabled by HimEnabled by Him: Do you feel equipped to discuss the relationship between science and God, the evidence that God exists, or the mind-blowing nature of God? Having had the privilege of already reading this book, I can assure you that it's worth every penny. It is a must-read resource for parents and anyone who works with youth. I found Natasha's writing style to be easy to read and her organized chapters were a treat for my OCD tendencies. She explains difficult concepts such as the Trinity with solid doctrine but in an down-to-earth, easy-to-understand manner. My favorite parts are the conversation guides at the end of every chapter. This is a book you'll read and use often.
